    Only the correct pads will fit. If you order on-line, take a good look look at the images to be sure you get the right ones, not just the Girling or Bendix. I had the get the ABS pads from FCP Groton even though I don't have ABS because they appeared to be described incorrectly.

    As for warping rotors, it's said that torquing the nuts too tight will do that. At least I think that's what happened to mine because I torqued them to 100 lb-ft, same as my Camaro before finding out it should be 66 lb-ft. However, they also say pulsing brakes are not from warped rotors but overheated spots on the rotors. Cracked rotors certainly pulse.
