| The other day I was doing about 115 mph on an empty high and when I went to hit the brake the steering wheel shook pretty bad. Not sure what it might of been so i did it again and it shook even more. So I slowed down and headed home but When I was driving normal and I hit the brake it didn't shake at all. I was thinking it might be my Rotors but I'm not sure. What do you guys think it might be? Not sure if I'm in the right section? | |

| Try rebedding the brakes before casting them off as warped rotors. Here as some general instructions on how to do so: http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm
Try that and let us know how it goes. | |

| it's warped rotors. this is a common symptom of that on these cars. you might be able to get them turned if they are still thick enough. | |

| Yup mine did the same thing. Hit the brakes at any speed above 60 and massive shake. As soon as I did brakes and rotars went away. | |

| I was also told that it might be the lower control arm on both sides. | |

| Even IF you have bad lower control arms, you probably still have warped rotors, and with the added "play" in lower control arms, the warp in the rotors is shown more due to the fact that there is more play in the control arms | |

| Replace the rotors and then see if you still have the issue. I like everyone else had same issue, replaced with R-1 slotted/cross drilled rotors, and problem went away. R-1 Concepts rotors is a nice upgrade for only a few dollars more than stock shit. | |

| As soon as I have the dough I'm upgrading to R-1 rotors on front and back even though I don't need them. | |
