High Speed Braking
When I was driving yesterday afternoon on the highway, in the fast lane, someone cut me off so I had to get on the brakes. I was going about 90 mph and when i hit the brakes it felt like there was something between the rotor and the pad, it made noise and but didn't effect the handling of the car. It wasn't a squealing sound, it sounded more like when you run over those little grooves on the edge of highway to wake you up when you start drifting. Once I got on the exit ramp at 50 mph the brakes were back to normal. Driving after that was fine, I've hit the brakes at 90+ mph before and never had this problem. Anyone have this problem before? I only have 9000 miles on the car and most are city miles.

OT: My cross-drilled rotors make a whirring noise when I step on the brakes real hard. Just though I'de throw that in...
