First Problem With my 370Z

I'll go through the list so you can know what I mean:

2011 C6 Z06
- Laaaarge swept area 4 pot caliper, peak heat per square inch not as high as the Z, not using super compressible organic/ceramic pad to reach "artificially high" peak coefficient of friction like the Z's stock pads.
1993 Crown Vic
- large shitty single pot caliper, peak heat much lower because the coefficient of friction isn't even in the same universe
2002 G20
- small shitty single pot caliper, see above
2001 WS.6
- large shitty two pot, see above
1995 Trans AM
- large shitty single pot (maybe two pot) caliper, see above
1988 Mustang GT
- large shitty single pot, see above

They're not better than all of those, but most of them, yes.

Get REAL pads, the problem goes away. Or, don't abuse the stock pads and be happy.

Or you can just not abuse the stock ones... There is no other reason you would go through a set of pads in normal driving, seriously. I didn't. Both the front and rear had the same 8mm on them after over 20,000 miles. After that emergency deceleration, did you give the brakes several minutes to come back down in temp before you stopped the car? Yes, but they were shaking already. As soon as that happened. I never stopped, and I noticed when slowing for an exit ramp later on the same freeway that they shook.If you didn't, you probably stuck the pads to the rotors and then a few days later you started getting the bumpy pedal. This is why I hate hate hate ceramic/organic pads.

The ONLY ones that I haven't had go bumpy on me is HPS, I have those on my DD and dislike how they destroy rotors faster than I think they should, but have to live with it so I don't get the bumps.

Anyway, good luck!
