I get a mad vibration at 57 mph in my 2nd gen CL. Doesn't matter what wheels are on and did it after full balance and alignment.

Warped rotors my friend. My last set of stock brakes would only cause vibrations at high speeds, i.e., slowing down at the track, sudden traffic on the highway, etc.

I have this problem too. Yes of course it comes from overheating the brakes sometimes, but it also comes from over-tightening the lug nuts, at least according to a friend of mine, who is a German car enthusiast. So be careful not to over tighten your nuts!!

Going 90 mph and suddenly stopping will CAUSE warped rotors over time..

Be gentle on your next set.
