Need new rotors at 45k?
I'm getting some brake judder and noise while braking at mid to higher speeds....i'm only at 45k m?iles but does this sound like rotors? I was going to change pads soon but if the rotors need it, will go ahead and do those as well. If so, what are some good suggestions for rotors? I'd prefer something a little better than oem, but nothing too expensive, I dont track the car or anything like that, just city driving.

Find a section of road where you can reach 60 mph. Slam on the brakes and come almost to a complete stop. Accelerate back to 60 mph and repeat three to five times. This should remove the judder. |
I tried that and while it helped, the judder kept coming back. Turning the rotors only fixed it for 5-8k miles, did it 3x. At 70k I replaced the rotors and pads with Centric parts from RockAuto and couldn't be happier. The daily driver kits are all you need unless you get on it heavily often. Brakes are really smooth now. I took the four rotors and pads to a garage and they installed them for about $150. Could have done it myself but at 59 by back isn't what it used to be.

Hey TinsleyC , I am at 100k and up for brakes but have the sports and planning on same route- centric rotors with stoptech pads etc, at least from reading , that seems a good combo..but my question is regarding bedding brakes, did you perform this process after brakes? or just drove it normally after etc...just curious on that as i read different takes on this so getting more info..thanks
I run the Stoptech Sport Pad/Centric Rotor combo for the G37x. Still linear pedal travel but bites a little harder. I followed this bedding procedure from Zeckhausen Racing:
