Warped Calipers is what this sounds like. Was new brakes just new pads? Or was this new pads, and rotors?

warped rotors ???? i am going to try new autozone rotors with ceramic pads (they say less brake dust and better stopping)

[JAM]

mean 98 your rotors went bad too? Or are you just trying to get less brake dust?

pads are getting thin and also trying to get less brake dust [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ok swaping pads will get you less brake dust depending on type of pad. I'm not sure wich one makes the least amount of dust. Advise please someone?

But, if your rotors are ok switching those won't make any differance for amounts of dust unless the rotor itself is some other type metal, and I highly doubt that to be true.

So basically if you swap your pads you can get less dust, and possibly better braking. Hope that helps.

If you have bad shakes in the steering wheel like the fella in the first post badazz6 said he had, then you probably have warped rotors and they should be replaced. I'm guessing it is his rotors causing his problems and not something else, because he said "feels like it stops and goes a little when brake is applied(so it kinda studers)" Usually that means junk rotors. I'm only assuming when he says "new brakes" he meant only new pads.

Hope that helps. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Thanx guys, that helps alot. I will put new rotors on and see if that helps. Do you know here i can get the cheapest rotors. I just want to fix it so i can sell it! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Try JC Whitney. They have stock replacements pretty cheap. So does Napa, and Autozone. Hope that helps. :cool:

we don't promote that kind of thinking around here :mad: [img]tongue.gif[/img]

also check for a sticking caliper piston.

badazz.... before spending an azzload on new rotors you should take your car in to get an estimate on what it would cost to have your current rotors resurfaced instead. I did that with my 3.4 when I first got it and it stopped smooth as a babys butt afterwards :D It also stayed that way until I was involved in my accident 44,006 miles later. the reason i mention this is because rotors can be expensive....
