My brembo blanks are biting already

Got them about 3 months ago, along with some pads off of Tirerack and them som'bitches are vibrating at high speed braking. anyone think I need need new pads or are the rotors warped already?

....mind you I drive about 50 miles/minimum roundtrip between work and home. So I'm averaging a solid 250 miles/week.

The Brembo blanks areno better than the rotors that came on the car.

Get in on the Rotora Group Buy.

I really want to get on board on the group, but I'm moving in Sept and need every penny. I really want to jump on the Rotoras.

I need a quick fix for right now.

The Brembo blanks should be better than stock. Did you break them in properly? If not, the first time you heat them up (IE 90mph stomp), the metal will more than likely warp.

Friend of mine just sorta pussy-footed around town for a week or so, thinking he broke them in enough. One good high speed brake, they were toast.

No, I didn't do any sudden braking like that. I don't know what the deal is with them. I heard them last night as I was leaving work and I could feel them biting.

How much does it cost to get them resurfaced?
