Wrap rotor?

Does anyone have any problem on OEM rotor on type S which is made by brembo? My steering wheel starts shaking when I brake. The rotors are brand new only 3 months old. Is it the problem with the rotors? Thanks

#1 - If you don't understand their question about bedding in the pads/rotors, you may want to read up on that.

#2 - Only a few things will "warp" a rotor and most of the time, it isn't actually warped.
-- Improper bedding or uneven transfer of pad material to the rotors
-- Warped rotor due to heat cycling -- less likely unless uber hot and doused in water
-- Warped rotor due to improper lug torque

"Many" times, you can attempt to re-bed the existing pads on the existing rotors and possibly get things back to normal. There are a lot of threads on there that lay out this process...but the basics are use the brakes, get them hot as a mofo, and then keep driving to let things cool back down.

No I did not bed in. Will re-bed work? Should I get a new set of rotors? Sorry, I wasted the OEM rotors? Autozone has them for $100

May have to machine them before bedding again. Or just buy new ones

You can always try...if didn't help, replace, and bed in properly.
