Yeah we did that... varied the speeds stopping... and did give a slight pull to the right.. figured there was some left over "oil" (Rotora term) on one of the rotors, and figured it would burn off (car was stopping fine)... Our friend lives out towards the country, lots of no traffic areas to test.

i think I have a rattle too, it kind of sounds like a squeak. I thought it was my suspension but now I'm not so sure.
How do I fix that crap?!?!?!
If you find out Danny, let me know. I'm too lazy to sift through 1,453,324,875 threads about rear deck rattles.

Had that same rear deck issue....when I was getting my 30k done the dealership fixed it. They told me that its usually the plastic around the 3rd brake light...You have to just get some of that foam strip crap and put it around it and rattles should b gone. But they also said that they had to tack<-----sp weld some shit in my trunk too

and if you have any issues with anything else, like leather etc, have them replace that too!! Before I was about out of my warranty on my cl-s, I ended up with a brand new seat leather in the fronts, and on the armrest!

Well Brake update. Went to Firestone and those dusch-bags didnt know shit. Told me it was because of my aftermarket rotors and pads that were making the problem 
So I went to another shop that i know of named GATEWAY. Told them the situaton and they said that firestone is dumb because they used after markets also. Hour after I dropped it off he calls and said the left calipor was put on wrong or some shit and was clamping my brake fluid hose. So they put it back in place it was fine. Take in mind firestone had it for 4 hours $30.00 bucks and the brake crockpot is over

Leaving my second job today and saw this H2 outside the builing in the parking lot with 28's on it. I took this pic with my phone. You shouldve seen the size of these fucking wheels. Had Kuhmos on it.
