This was precisely the cause of such debate. My stance was it didn't matter, others weren't quite so convinced. I do believe warping was the primary focus on why flat storage was deemed appropriate rather than on end.

Just figured I'd ask the masses to determine the debate-able-ness of said topic.

Its the same reason you store crankshafts vertical. They can move around.

What ever you do , do'nt do what I did. I stored them up side down and then when i tried to use them they only stopped the car in reverse.

If we rotate wheels/tires, why don't we rotate rotors? And would that be "to rotortate" as a verb, and "rotortation" as a noun?

Glen, I need your job. You have too much time (and money) on your hands.

84-944

Spray them with WD 40 and throw them in a big box with a thousand other parts, slide next to 4 other big boxes under work bench and forget where they are in a week.

Store them any way you want then apply THE Cure for Any rotor warp: Pagid black pads applied vigorusly while having enormous fun.

"Store flat" refers to PSI. Never leave your rotors pressurized or you they will form rows of little holes that lead to cracking. Go check yours, I'll wait......

Store vertically........... but make sure they are surrounded by a wheel and tire and are mounted correctly on a car!!! You never heard of flat spotting a rotor when it was mounted did yoU???
