My 2004 SXT started to vibrate badly when under heavy braking. The vibration comes from the front and is only noticable under braking conditions, while driving everything is smooth. The wheels/tires have been recently balanced and an alignment done hoping to fix the problem but the problem persists, just not as bad. I have 17" rims with 205/40 tires.[/align][/align]Any suggestions? I'm thinking I need new rotors....[/align]

 

You could go have the rotors checked out and maybe get some motor mounts from modern performance those might help you out alot .

 

I think your rotors are toast.

 

I see new rotors in your future...

My rotors are **** too. But I don't spend money on internal stuff like "BRAKES" or "GAS". I'm purely into show.

anyways i was gonna get those slotted rotors on ebay but a lot on 2gn say they wear unevenly and crack. The power 2's at modern are supposed to be pretty good. BUT they're 89 each.

So go to autozone and buy 2 for like 34.99 and call it a day.

 

Here's the kicker....the car only has 28,000 miles on it...I've never had rotors wear out so quickly....are there any "heavy duty" rotors available without moving up to a bigger rotor or slotted? I had slotted on another car and they were a pain to get "turned", and for the price I don't want to always have to buy new ones....

 

IF U HAVE A HEAVY FOOT BRAKES CAN WEAR OUT QUICK...GET A SET OF HAWKS...THERE A GOOD QUALITY AT A GOOD PRICE PLUS U WONT BE GETTING ALL THE BRAKE DUST ON UR RIMS...

 

I have the Ebay cross-drilled and slotted rotors with 35k on them with no uneven wear or cracking. I'm about to replace them with some new ones since I do my pads and rotors at the same time .

 

I bought new brembos once and carefully planned and cross-drilled them myself on a press... they worked great, never cracked or warped...

Anyway the only other thing I can think of would be a hub bearing. If you replace your rotors and still have shaking under heavy braking, I would suggest looking at replacing the hub bearings... I had one of these go bad one time (felt just like a warped rotor) and I ruined a brand new set of rotors before I figured out what was actually wrong with the car.
