well i went to a deserted road..did pulls from 40-120 then hard brake down to 30..around 3 times..let the car cool off (shut down and didnt pull the ebrake up) and on the ride home my brakes were perfect..no more steering wheel shake or anything...but new brakes are on the way regardless

Nice man. This method also worked on the squeaky *** Brembo brakes on my Sti. No more squeak and I notice the breaks bite a bit harder.

What you did is known as "burnishing". A really good mechanic burnishes pads to rotors after a brake job is done (before the vehicle is given back to the customer).

Warped rotors, Remove your wheels and use a dial indicator, max run out is 0.01-0.04
most cars are around there.

how about if we replace the oem rotors and pads with stoptech rotor and pads?

will this resolve the problem?

I installed stoptech rotors and Hps pads. But car is in the shop. Should fix problem because it's a whole new set up. Hit up jomer at fbnissan he has killer prices.
