Brakes problem, please help!
Ok, got an 02 type S. I decided to buy front pads and rotors and replace them myself. I already did this on my old 99 tl with no problems. After I replaced both sides, the steering wheel and the whole car shakes violently at slow speeds (I was afraid to go over 40). Also, there is a distinct clicking sound coming from under my shifter whenever I apply the brakes while sitting still. I am about to tear it apart again, but am unsure what I did wrong. I tightened every bolt well. The only thing is that I had to drill out the phillips screws which hold the rotor onto the hub. I did not replace them because I figured that the lug nuts would hold the rotor on tight enough. The guy at autozone also said that I did not need these. Any suggestions?

i read that those two screws are what holds the rotor in place... so if you dont put those back on/replace them, what the heck is them in fixed position?!
