Default Help with Brakes...

I just replaced my front rotors and brake pads about 4 months ago in my 97 GSR. When I brake now, my car vibrates like it did prior to replacing the rotors, the problem went away for a couple of months and has been getting slowly worse. Is this for sure my rotors or could it be caused by some other problem? The rotors are only 4 months old like I said, why would they be warped again already? Anyone have any ideas or should I just order some new rotors from Colletti? Thanks!

did you get OEM brakes and rotors? more than likely you warped your brakes again....its possibly your alignment, but that would mean the car would shake under harsh acceleration too....how old are you tires? uneven wear perhaps

I was so fed up with the shaking the first time I went to Red Rooster and bought the "in stock" rotors (not OEM), they were only like $24 each, so I guess I should have expected this...tires are almost new, and alignment was done about same time new tires went on, no shaking during acceleration, so I guess I just need to get some new rotors...again.

I haven't bought from them by mail order but they did the brakes and alignment on my lude (they're about 45 min north of here).
They're a good shop.
