Brake rotors and pads... S70

First time I've heard stop-and-hold braking as a possible reason for rotor warping. I heard about the brake pad composition as a possible cause issue from an indy tech who showed me a TSB issued by a brake pad manufacturer. It indicated vehicles that drive a lot of highway miles and experience frequent rotor warping; it assumed proper lugbolt torque was previously established. It recommended softer, heat-absorbant pad material. Since that change, I've yet to warp another rotor in over 375K miles. (I still have OEM's on my S70, but they're dusty so I suspect they absorb heat the way the older OEM pads didn't.)

Here is another discussion that also lists brake pad composition as possible cause.
