Maybe? I doubt it. It could just be my driving style, though I don't generally brake hard or sit on the brakes much.

Maybe it's just a combination of traffic and the warm temps out here? I dunno.

It's probably just me in the end.

hummm... id swap the pads and get those rotors turned. if it still persists, replace the rotors with aftermarkets (mr.jar's recommendations).

Ahh i c, ok ill do the alignment first while getting my dent fixed then if it still shakes i guess i gotta try the pads and rotors next.

Minsu · 05-21-2014, 08:44 AM

Could you elaborate a bit Kittens?

Well the purpose of the alignment is to set the camber caster toe angles to the specifications. If the angles are off it increases tire wear, reduces fuel economy

Minsu · 05-21-2014, 08:54 AM

XD any recommendations on rotors IF I need new ones

Well this morning as im driving, i noticed mly left arm feels lower than my right and it seems that my steering wheel needs to be maybe a centimeter to the left for the car to go straight, if i get an alignment will it fix both issues?

that could be from the crown of the road... which bascially is normal.

Z1 2-piece rotors are

for a

price. They have less expensive one piece rotors as well that you can get slotted and/or cross drilled.

I run EBC slotted rotors in front. No issues.

I already bought new front rotors and pads all around. I just haven't installed them yet. I figured I'd wait until the pads get a little more worn down.

I may do the swap when I get back from vacation, I have a nice long weekend then to bed them properly.

Oh, it does. But it's a constant reminder that I've failed. I'm teaching myself a lesson.
