Rotors

I've slammed on the brakes doing well over that by a large margin to no ill effect, in various vehicles. I faded the brakes BAD on my 1995 Trans Am (they were under-sized, it was a heavy car, they never warped). Besides, I doubt it's often one goes from 90 to 0 on the Autobahn.

The transfer occurs when you come to a fast full stop so that the hot pads are at one spot on the rotor. As long as you get of the brakes before the rotor comes to a stop or near stop I think you are OK. In fact that is how some claim to get the high spot off the rotor, by braking hard which gets the high spot hot enough to level it out as long as you never come to a full stop.

Yep, that is GM's procedure in the owner manual for ZR1 brake conditioning/wear-in.
