Now front rotors/discs are a different story i have seen a few of them but most warping was due to the owner not keeping the rears adjusted so the fronts were doing more than the major part of the braking.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

I have the cast iron Cooper S style rear brake drums and from the start they were out of round. I took them to a local machine shop to have them trued, but that failed to make them round for very long. They grabbed a bit less when I put them back on, but have gotten worse over the last thousand miles or so of driving.
Are these drums prone to warping? Are the aluminum drums more stable? I'd really like to know!!!
