ABS question

[bugdoubt]

Ok I guess I've been a little embarrassed to ask this but here goes. When I first bought my car the rotors were warped to heck and when abs was applied it was a nightmare. Well I figured no ABS fuse=no ABS. Well I never really thought about it again till now. Ive warped my second pair of rotors since last spring. Now I know I need to bleed my brakes but here is my question. With the abs fuse pulled is there a problem with pressures in my brake lines(assuming no air in them). Could this be a cause for warping?

I ask because I'm purchasing the Baer track kit and I don't want to ruin them by not using my ABS(i.e keeping the fuse out).

So by not having the ABS fuse in am i going to warp more rotors?

thanks

No fuse isn't warping your rotors.

Warped rotors are usually the result of a few common things.

- cheap rotors...crappy chinese rotors made of crappy steel warp real easy. Buy something good like Brembos

- uneven lug nut torque...puts uneven pressure on rotors. Use a torque wrench to tighten them correctly.

- hard stopping...if you're one of those guys who waits until the last second to stop and then stands on the brakes. Take it easier on the stops.

- cold water on hot brakes...the sudden temperature change causes warpage. Let the brakes cool before washing the car, etc
