Brakes kinda strange
so driving around and just touching the brakes they shutter the steering wheel, but if you warm them up good couple faster slow downs, they shutter seems to go away.
i was assuming a rotor was warped and needs replacing but after noticing the shutter to disappear with some spirited braking im starting to wonder pads have about 60% life in them rotors look good havent got a chance to pull wheels off n check for a warped rotor yet
next thought im not a track guy but do love the stock brakes what street pads do you guys reccomend i was looking at pagid yellows and some ebc n such dont want any less performance then OEM and no squeaky brakes
i did look a mikellys big brake thread but its mostly upgrades in rotor sizes n such

I've had a similar problem. For whatever reason (contamination, not enough aggressive braking) the pads had developed a glaze or pad material is stuck to the rotor. Basically the reduced and/or uneven friction surface causes the shudder. A common fix for this is to scuff up the rotors (both sides) with a medium to coarse sandpaper, run the pads across the sandpaper to cut through the glaze, put it all back together and rebed the brakes. In my case I did this and it was only a temporary fix. I think my pads are contaminated so I am going to replace them. Hope this helps, Dave
