brakes

[firebird1999us]

Good info! I have 230k miles and I seem to be experiencing a slight wobble sometimes when braking... I was curious how aftermarket stuff compared and now I know! That said - when it comes time for a full brake overhaul and the rotors need to be replaced is there a cheaper source for replacement stock rotors other than the dealership?

Stoptech has a good article regarding "warped" rotors.

In summary:

...every case of "warped brake disc"...has turned out to be friction pad material transferred unevenly to the surface of the disc.

So I guess what they're saying is, cheap pads can screw-up your rotors. (duh!)

I currently have the same problems as described above with a vibrating pedal when breaking at high speeds due to "warped" rotors. In my case though, I think this is happening because I'm still using the original rotors that have been in service for nearly 7 years, and are showing signs of severe rust build-up.
