Is it possible to order these parts? Ive never had any luck at the junk yard. I guess I dont need the radio crap since the previous owner put in a pioneer cd player. Thanks for all the help!

the vibration is most likely coming from the tires and not the brakes.

In all the years that i've been in imotor sports i have yet, thats right, YET, to see warped rotors. Never has that happened. Rotors develop miniscule cracks due to high pressure and a lack of escaping gases.

Most likely its the tires. You may need to have them balanced.

If the rotors were actually cracked (member' not warped, thats impossible) you would be able to tell at low speeds as well as high.


Check your tires. My former vehicle was an E36 M3 which had constant problems similar to yours. It was always the tires and if not, other suspension components.


Good luck.

Well apparently you have not been into motorsports that long then. I have warped rotors right now. They warp by riding your brakes too much. They get hot and warp. Hense the reason for TURNING them. It flatens out all the high spots.

my olds used to get bent roters all the time and I didnt over use the brakes so im guessing this is a common thing.
