I suspect that’s why my fronts have warped (Pagid). Its not from heavy braking, its probably because I use the brake pedal at a stop being automatic (that won’t help). It doesn’t have an automatic handbrake, but can be engaged manually by pressing a button. I do from time to time put it into neutral if I’m parked on a flat surface at lights, but its a habit keeping my foot on the brake pedal at a stop (won’t be doing it from now on).
Question is, buy genuine or aftermarket? It seems genuine can warp the same as the aftermarket ones, yet they cost much more!
