You must be heating them up then running the car through a pond or something. I just did the brakes on my sister in laws Scion and she had about 50k miles on that set.

Nope. This car has been a PITA from day 1. Well, actually 10K miles. Next week it's going back to the dealership again. I just got the slotted Z1 rotors on it last week, and they shaved the brake pads because it was still shaking very noticeably. I'm replacing the pads now, 300 miles later, because I can feel, very slightly, that it's starting it up again and it can only get worse from here.

Stopping smoothly. My 1988 mustang 5.0 did it better.
