Brake Upgrade
#41
steering shake only under braking, or all the time, or worse under braking?
may be tie rod ends, lots of those being replaced recently

there are so many threads on these and other rotors- take a scroll thru the performance section and vendor links in black market
r1 are good, so are several others
cross drilled can bring more noise, pad wear, and cracking issues than just side slots- which are also total bling unless you really push the car hard under repeated mountain type braking

Continuing Brake Fluid Talk:
Im currently Using "Motul DOT 5.1" just cuz I got a Sweet Deal on It, Not even a Single Issue Since the Switch.
Seems to be a little better than the Normal DOT 5 but is Glycol Based instead of Silicone so its safe for Our Cars..
MORE INFO:
--------Dry boiling point / Wet boiling point
DOT 3 205 °C (401 °F) 140 °C (284 °F)
DOT 4 230 °C (446 °F) 155 °C (311 °F)
DOT 5 260 °C (500 °F) 180 °C (356 °F)
DOT 5.1270 °C (518 °F) 190 °C (374 °F)
"Glycol-Based Brake Fluid, (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1)".
"Silicone-Based Brake Fluid, (DOT 5)".
"DOT 5 is silicone fluid and the above does not apply. Ideally, silicone fluid should be used only to fill non-ABS systems that have not been previously filled with glycol based fluid. Any system that has used glycol based fluid will contain moisture, glycol fluid disperses the moisture throughout the system and contains corrosion inhibitors. Silicone fluid does not allow moisture to enter the system, but does not disperse any that is already there either".

NEVER use 5.0 brake fluid in the TL
5.1 for racer types is ok,,just never the point zero stuff.. as noted in the above posting
