Default Break Problems

ive noticed lately my rotors are most likely warped b/c it pulsates to a stop especially going from a fast speed. my ? is how soon should i look into repairing it and if it?

i was thinking of gettin some cross-drilled rotors instead.......
also should i replace the break pads also while in the process of fixing my rotors. to stay stock rotors or cross-drilled??!?!?

i'd fix them as soon as possible...as far as upgrading, do what you want to do. and i assume that you'd want to change the pads as well, they may have worn funny from your rotor being warped

Yes you should change the rotors, or have them resurfaced, depending on the severity.

You should change the pads when you change the rotors.

Keep in mind: OEM style rotors are able to be resurfaced.

Try getting an alignment first and see if that resolves the "pulsating" you're describing when braking.

Check your tire balance too.

im sure its not my tire balance, but i should look into my allighnment. other then that u cant resurface cross-drilled or slottle tires? i want to get some slotted brembo rotors, but what type of pads should i get? oem seems to be best bet. but i hate the dust accumulating so quickly. any pads just as good or betteR? like greenstuff

just my tid-bit of info as far as upgrading...i bought the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and run the red stuff pads on 'em and I couldn't be happier with the braking response that I get from them. Virtually no fading at all, and the have bite right from the start.
