Default eg tech help (sus. problems)

I currently have an eg hatch and are having the following problems that i hope you guys can help me out with.
>When i turn the steering wheel, i get this bomp, bomp, bomp noise? I know i need new cv joints, but i thought when you need new cv joints it clicks, not thumps?
> Also when i brake at 60 or more, everything starts to rattle excessively?
I know these are basic questions, but i would really like it if you could take the time to anwser them. -Thanks-

the rattling is your rotors. get new pads and rotors. not sure about the first one.

Also, one more thing and this probably ties into the first question, but when i coast to a stop, the car seems to wabble side to side? I have skunk2 coils, and ls rims waiting to be put on, so could it just be the alignment or is it more serious?

Pads and rotors are cheap right? Under 100$?

i've heard of cars wobbling from side to side at high speeds but not coasting to a stop. normally you would need your wheels balanced. and yes, pads and rotors are fairly cheap, not sure exactly how much though.

in conclusion: you will most likely need to take your car to a shop to have the balancing and realignments done (just to be safe), so you might as well take it there and have them figure out exactly what it may be.

you have warped rotors for sure, broken CV joints for sure, and possibly an alignment issue. look into all of it before you get new wheels/tires put on. you can probably go to a junkyard and grab some integra front suspensison: that would solve your rotor problem and give you better breaking.

If you want to save some money, see if you can get your rotors cut. It usually costs like 5 or ten dollars. Will save you a little bit of money if you are strapped for cash.

Appreciate all the responses, i think i am going to go to the junkyard and get some off a gsr....also, lets just say that i dont get around to it in the next couple of weeks though, could something eventually turn worse, or would that take months and months?
