i have really been ignoring this problem but im gonna take a roadtrip soon and i dont want this to be a problem. i installed some new brake rotors and when i travel at high speeds and brake, the brakes shudder. i dont know if its abs kickin in cuz of some problem with the rotors not fitting... or could be just defective rotors (I dont think so). maybe rotors are on backwards. ive seen d/s rotors put on different ways, i put mine on according to directions that came with them.

I experienced this problem going about 80 on the freeway. im not slamming on the brakes, just light enough to slow the car down.

also the problem is sporadic, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt.

Any suggestions?

 

so im the only one with this problem huh?

 

Sounds like you have a bit of pad deposition that might be solved by doing a thorough bed in procedure. It would help to know if you are using stock pads or have switched out to something else.

oh... i didnt realize there was a bed-in process needed for just rotor replacement. im using stock brake pads used 3k miles. i hope its not too late for a bed in procedure for the rotors a couple hundred miles after i installed them.

 

so have you solved this problem yet?

 

err couldnt do a 60-0 anywhere... but i did do 50-0 about 10 times and the problem went away. thanks.

 

So how well does she drop anchor after the upgrade?

 

its pretty much a stock feel unless you are going over 100. after that you can really feel it grab. purely an aesthetic upgrade. call it rice if u wish.
