Just finished installing a new front wheel bearing kit and discovered one of my rotors is warped. Did the same side wheel bearings & hub less than a year ago, both Febi kits. Could this be causing extra stress, thus causing the bearing to fail prematurely? The seal behind the inner bearing was shot. I'm assuming that is what predominantly caused the inner bearing to start to go.

Anyway, one of my rotors is warped and I'm looking to replace both fronts with some Disc Italias combined with the Disc Italia Hyper Ceramic pads (are these pads any good?) and also stainless brake lines. Is the Goodridge G-Stop brake line kit any good? Also for the brake fluid, Super DOT-4?

Sounds like a solid plan, let me know how they work. I got or rotors and ceramic pads on mine... Thinking of upgrading the brake lines though

How is the dust level? It is a real PITA keeping white wheels clean with the OEM stuff/Jurid pads.

1998 C43, 2001 S500
I put Goodridge G-Stop ss lines (part # 34030, Tire Rack about $120) on my 1998 C43, been happy with them. While I was ordering I also got 1L of the ATE Type 200 brake fluid, happy with that as well.
