RE: vibration

yeah you may need to get your rotors machined or get new rotors.

RE: vibration

+1 It may be your rotors. You can get a couple different types of rotors. Regular Flat surface rotors, drilled rotors, slotted rotors, cross drilled & slotted rotors. You can get them from a few different companies also... powerstop (I think thats it), autozone, baer, brembo, etc. etc.

They range from 100-4587845345 dollars. You choose.

RE: vibration

Yep, sounds like warped rotors. performancecenter.com has a pair of powerslots for $180. Just be sure you go w/ Hawk pads or something good.

$100 for a rotor? And your still going to the same place? I paid 15 a piece for my front.
