According to customer reviews the best brake pads and rotors are EBC brake rotors and pads. They are manufactured in Britain and can be found at any auto store including Canadian Tire in Canada.
This website http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-parts/brake-rotors.htm is a good source on how rotors work. This site will also help on deciding which rotors are best for your vehicle.
Volvo pads and rotors are the best ones to use. Most aftermarket pads and rotors seem to make braking noise
2 wheel or 4 wheel drive, front or rear rotors, it makes a big difference.
Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping. Most brake Specialist (Les Shwab) recommend on new cars, and new rotors to brake easy, (light foot) on your new rotors for the first 1,000 miles of the rotors life. That way they have time to brake in.
Brake calipers are the hydraulic devices that wrap around the rotors and pinch the brake pads into the rotors when you stop.
You can get your brake rotors replaced by visiting Autoparts Warehouse which contain various brake rotors in size and durability to fit your needs and accommodate your budget.
This is not much information, but I'll give it a try. If the front brake rotors have too much run-out, "wider in some spots than others" then the rotors need refaced or replaced. If the problem is in the rear brakes, the brake drums are out-of-round and need resurfaced. If you feel the tremble in the brake pedal when you brake, then the problem is certainly in the brake system. ------------ He is correct...the rotors are probably warped. Replace the rotors if they are warped that bad. You can get them turned but they are going to be thinner than new rotors and whatever caused them to warp last time will happen faster. (heavy braking and riding your foot on the brake can cause the rotors to warp)
The best way to clean brake rotors effectively is to use a brake cleaner spray to remove any dirt, grime, and brake dust. Make sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner and use a clean cloth to wipe down the rotors thoroughly. Avoid using water or soap, as they can leave residue that may affect braking performance.
