[Supras] Brakes 2 cars

[Jeff Mohler]

What causes that shimmy??

90% of the time, its cheap pads that you are exercising outside of
their designed temperature range, and they will leave uneven deposits
on the rotors. 200grit paper to clean the rotor faces solves this.

The remaining 10% is _really_ cheap rotors that did warp (very rare)
and dirty install (grease, etc) that you see right after brake
service.

Get a sanding disc for a hand drill, refresh the rotor faces and spend
more than $20 on brake pads.  Porterfield R4-S is a good way to go,
Hawk HPS if you wanna be a tad cheaper, but not run on crap.

Horsepowerfreaks has these more available than I do right now.

Also..turning a rotor will make a rotor more likely to feel "warped"
than a thicker one, theyre cheap...get new ones.
