Steering Wheel Shaking while light braking

beemerkid · 04-09-2017, 01:21 AM

I've got the same problem, the hotter they get, the worse the shake. No pulsation in the pedal, and I'm VERY careful about not stopping on hot brakes and/or clamping down at a stoplight, so I'm sure it's not deposits. All stock brakes and fluid, but I've never boiled them. I do get them pretty toasty on CA hwy1 when going to work in the early am...Z1 lightweight (one piece) a good upgrade with proper street sport pads? People are also pretty happy with the xp8 for quick DD and back road shenanigans right?

It's probably the same thing.. I've had the same issue on my '11 and '13. The stock pads seem very prone to it... I've never had the issue on any other vehicle I've ever owned. I just recently had my rotors turned and changed to StopTech street pads so hopefully it wont resurface.
