I've had both a 98 and now a 01 C5 coupe, and in both cars, after about 30K miles on the 98, and after only 18K miles on the 01, there is a noticable vibration coming through the steering wheel when braking. My guess is this is a case of a warped rotor(s). On both cars, the wheels never came off the car from the day they came from the factory, so this isn't a case of some mechanic overtorquing the lug nuts with a speed wrench. I do mostly hi-speed Interstate driving with a few rush hours thrown in for good measure, don't ride the brakes, don't do much trailbraking around corners, and in fact, don't really use the brakes anywhere near what they are capable of.
Has anyone else had a problem with their front rotors or heard of a problem with the factory 13" rotors?
Is there an aftermarket replacement (eg. Baer) that anyone has experience with that are going to be less likely to warp?
Thanks to all!
