Questiong regarding brakes and high speed drving
Hi all I have a few questions regarding the tc. I really love the car I have it had since "05" but anyway lol. I used to live in new york and I remember the last year I was there it snowed alot and my breaks and tires were subjected to alot of snow in the tires rims and brakes. Now I live in florida and I've recently payed a bit more notice to my car since its great weather almost all year around want to keep it looking sharp. So the brakes and rotors Im guessing is what im also looking at seems to have a great deal of rust. Ill see if I can post some pictures tonite. What I was wondering is how do I notice if there is damaged that was caused to them in part of the rust that I see. Also, at about 80-90mph and above the wheels feel like they are no longer going straight kinda like moving side to side. Maybe need an alignment? Either way thanks for any info you can give me I'll post pics of the brakes later.
Thanks in advance,

The drifting is an alignment issue. You're drifting towards the side with more positive camber.
Your brakes are not likely damaged from rust, for 2 reasons. One, the most important area is in the "contact zone" of the rotor, which gets very hot and burns off rust quickly each time you drive. Secondly, even if you own an early 05, it's still really not that old.
Let's see those pics, and hopefully we can figure out what you'd like advice on.

Is your car lowered in any way? It sounds like you have a toe problem, I'll take a stab and say that you somehow have some rear "toe out" this would create the slight swaying of the car at high speeds. Camber wouldn't have this affect on the car btw.
As far as the brakes go they are fine unless you feel that the car pulls to one side while braking or if they get loud during braking.
