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.

Could you elaborate a bit Kittens?

kittens · 05-21-2014, 08:48 AM

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.
