e-brake = rotor warpage?
just curious if this might cause my rotors to warp?
after i drive my truck i park it into my drive which is at a slant. just curious if the e-brake has anything to do with the front brakes.
just replaced my ford rotors and murray brake pads with the brembo rotors and hawk pads dont want to warp them if the e-brake is causing it???
ill keep you guys informed about how i like my new rotor and pad combination...so far they are smooth as glass and stop alot better.

Your e-brake has nothing to do with the front rotors. The thing that warps them is heat. If you get a caliper that is slightly sticky it can heat up your brakes quite a bit. Other then that lots of hard stops or just many normal stops can cause this.

E-brake is only in the back.
What usualyl causes rotors to warp is the quick change in temperatures, like being had on cold brakes, or getting water on hot brakes via puddles or washing your vehicle.
