[QUOTE="Mark Stadnicki, post: 899501, member: 65938"] (Previously posted) I bought some black dimpled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads from Brake Performance. I bedded pads per instructions. The brakes work fine while cool at lower speeds and easy brake pressure. However, slowing down from highway speeds feels like they are grabbing/pulsing and shaking the front end. One time it smelled like the pads were burning. I have no shimmy or pull driving at any speed when not useng brakes. Once the rotors have heated up from a high speed stop, they even feel horrible at slow speed stops. They grab and feel like warped rotors... Plus the pads claim to be low dust, they are far worse than the factory pads. I'm leaning toward resurfacing factory rotors and putting different pads on. :( [/QUOTE]
