3 minute brake

3 minute brake

Just found out:

"When you stop at a stoplight and hold your foot on the brakes for approximately 3 minutes, the area just under the brake pads is under more pressure, so, it gets much hotter...about 400 degrees. This area expands even more, causing the rotor to "WARP". This area is permanently thicker than the rest of the rotor, thereby causing a sometimes violent vibration only under braking."
