Installed new rotors and pads - vibration problem

[dude8383]

Let's hope that that was indeed the issue. I should get it on Saturday and it's going on as soon as it gets here.

how much are the rotors now btw? i need to do this pretty soon.

btw, i just wanted to mention that your car looks clean as hell.

The rotors are around $30 a piece from BMA. Thanks for the compliment, I've been slowly working at it to get it the way I want it.

Turns out it was the Hawk HPS pads. The backing plate was the wrong shape/size so it was cause the pad to move in the caliper. Got a set of Jurid fronts and the noise is gone.

It's exceedingly rare for a properly installed rotor to become warped. 999 times out of 1000 the cause is uneven pad deposits on the rotor. This can be confirmed sometimes by looking for a blotchy appearance on the rotor. The solution is to go do some really hard braking, like 8-10X 80mph to 20mph at threshold.

Or occasionally it's the wrong pad <g>
