take it to sears for a brake inspection
it is $15 dollars
and if you need work done
the $15 goes toward the work and parts.

Are the Brembo's a straight swap, or are you talking big brake conversion here. Just want some quality discs that are not grooved or drilled, same as standard. My coupe has the same symptoms and it only got 29k on clock and is still on original tires, so it cant have been driven that hard before i got it. No vibration at steady speeds, but slowing down from about 80mph+ it feels like there warped.

Regardless, if you can get a free inspection of them, have at it, but if they have to be pulled you're gonna get charged. And its not worth turning the rotors (new ones can be bought from autozone for $19.11 each, its about 10-15/ea to get the old ones resurfaced. And there's nothing wrong with the cheapo rotors. A stock sized rotor is a rotor is a rotor. They're all the same straight veined vented disc.

Rep Power: 337 ok first of all, do you drive a stick? if so do you ever down shift to slow down? you just might be over using your brakes. yes a such thing exists. how bad is the vibration? does your steering wheel shake? what exactly is vibrating? help me picture this problem, and ill try to help you out as much as i can. could be your abs controller. how long have you had the car and have you ever had the brakes done before. how many miles? help me out. thanx

Mine did that to. That is no big deal. At my dealer it is one of the things that is fixed when you get a brake job. It is pretty common with our cars, and it is also easily fixable. The problem is warped rotors. Usually they just get clipped or straightened. It costed me around $60 at the dealer for the entire brake job, and like I said, that is included. After the job, I didn't have any more trouble with that.
On a side note, the noise that it makes does sound kind of cool doesn't it?
