shaking under brake conditions. i feel like my rotors may be warped or i have some build up on my rotors and my pads have glazed over. i have about 82k on my car so i feel like my rotors could be due for a change. i just found the HeelToe HT-spec stage 1 brake package and thought of that as a good possibility it comes with new rotors, performance pads, and metal hoses to replace the stock rubber ones.

I bought the Stage 0 kit (my rotors are fine), and got a nice upgrade in the braking response. The SS lines are a big improvement over OEM rubber. If you're sure your rotors are warped (have you had a professional check them?), the Stage 1 with front and back rotors will surely please you.

The factory front rotors are prone to distortion. We offer a brake package that includes Powerslot/STOPTECH rotors and STOPTECH performance pads. The front slotted rotors have a curved vane and power alloy composition. There is a black coating on the hubs and vanes. The pads have good bite and long-term performance with low dust and low noise.

Before you trash your rotors because you "think" they're warped ... have them checked. I've heard Marcus mention that pad material buildup gives the same feeling. Either of the vendors complete kits would be great, but I'm not a fan of replacing things that aren't truly broken.
