This is a really amazing and informative thread. Xenonk, I appreciate your holistic approach to the topic of stopping. Like a lot of other people I get carried away sometimes when looking at aftermarket parts and forget what the real goal is. In my case, it's just stopping my car during daily driving, sometimes more spirited than others.
So I bought my LGT used with 35000 miles on it. I'm at 65k now and the steering wheel shakes when I press the brakes hard. This happened before, stopped and now it's back. I'm thinking it's a warped rotor but I need to inspect to be sure. So, question; if I were to replace the front rotors and/or pads only, is that problematic? Do the rears need to be done at the same time?
