Get Your Mitsubishi Lancer EVO or Legnum V6 Stopping Like New — With RDA Rotors
> Your Mitsubishi's disc brake rotors are crucial for bringing you to a halt, acting as the surface your brake pads grip. Over time, they cop a beating from heat and friction, leading to wear, warping, or even cracks. This can seriously impact your braking, especially if you drive your EVO or Legnum hard.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Feel a wobble or pulsing in the brake pedal
• Hear squealing or grinding when you brake
• Notice it takes longer to stop than it used to
• See cracks or deep grooves on the rotor itself
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Worn brake rotors are a common reason for failing a WOF here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
