ok so something weird is going on with my brakes. when i press the pedal at high speeds it kind of bounces up and down. it still does it at lows speed but the faster im going the more it bounces. not a lot but enough to make me wonder what the hell is going on. do i need new brakes pads or could it be because i have warped rotors or something. any and all help appreciated.

Warped rotors.

MacDrevi0us · 09-12-2006, 12:03 AM

are you positive? because i know that it does need front break pads

Jung918 · 09-12-2006, 12:45 AM

Well then it would get a great time to either turn or replace your rotors when you get the new pads.

It could be the ABS, if the car has ABS.

one or more of your rotor is bend or have un smooth surface... replace rotor might help.

MacDrevi0us ~ I was JUST gonna cut and paste that link! I personally know a couple guys over at StopTech (they've helped me tune my GSXR1000 track bike's brakes) and their FAQs are top notch.

Sorry to hear about your rotor bein at the limit, but at least you got the problem solved
