Steering Wheel Vibration while braking

As noted above he has replaced those parts.

Just a thought, but who's installing the pads/rotors. Improperly installed pads could create uneven wear on the rotors and get them out of balance. I still find it VERY hard to believe you are getting enough heat in your rotors during daily driving to actually warp them. I can't even do that on the track or autocross when my brakes are being used HEAVILY. Do you live in mountains or drag the brakes a bunch?

Most people can't even tell the difference between a warped disc and pad deposit....

True, and the fix for both is the same (resurface or replace rotors). It's just semantics really. But again, probably not warping those rotors.

For Daily Driving: OEM rotors and PFC OEM replacement Pads, PFC 665 Fluid, Ventus V12
On the Track: Z1 slotted rotors (BPI) and PFC 08 or 01 Race Pads, PFC 665 Fluid, Kuhmho XS 275 all around

I was a little weary of Z1s rotors at first, hopeing I wouldn't pull a Lewis Hamilton, but they have done great at the track.

I am experiencing the same problem also. I replace the rotors and pads but still getting "brake jubber". Ill try bleeding the brake to see if that resolves the problem
