Hi guys,

Need help and advice on this. My steering shakes excessively when I push my brake pedal especially
when at high speed. I'm driving Evo 8. Some info on my brake system:

I'm using stock brembo calipers, stock rotor, and Project µ front pad 0-600 degreeC.

What should I do? resurface the disc?? check the brake fluid??

Thanks guys

uneven disc rotor might caused the steering to shake when braking. check on it and either skim it or replace it.
hope it might help.

Thanks. If u dont mind sharing the brand/price for the disc u changed? I've surveyed all the aftermarkets for my car. Seems that Brembos are hard to find in our country unless it's a halfcut parts. Most are project u,AP rcg,APP,VTTR,endless etc :hmmmm:

Just took my car out from the workshop. Sent all my disc brakes for resurfacing/skimming.
tested them with normal and sudden stop & now no more shaking :biggrin:

That day in hypertune also had an article...

the vibrations during braking is USUALLY due to an uneven disc.Skimming/resurfacing or changing the rotors can solve the issue.

A raft of changes to Formula One's regulations has been decided upon by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council (WMSC), in order to improve racing and tidy up a number of loose ends.

From 2011 adjustable rear wings will be allowed to promote overtaking, in the hope of encouraging cars to draft one another down the straights. In addition F-ducts will be banned.
