Weird Braking

[stenve]

hey guys,

just a quick question, ive got a 93 r33 gtst that ive had for about a month. apparently the guy who owned it before me replaced the brake pads with bendix ones pretty recently.

however when i go to come to a stop and press down on the pedal the brakes kinda feel like they grip for a second then slip out and roll then grip, then roll and so on.

this results in the car "stuttering" to a stop and its quite annoying especially if im braking on a downhill.

now my question is... what is casuing this? uneven wear on the pads? is there any way to fix this? will i need new pads? could it be from a bad wheel alignment?

thanks for any help

could be that or maybe ABS playing up?

sounds like warped rotors

maybe get your discs machined and see if that fixes it

cool thanks guys

whats the general price to get your discs machined? any decent places to get it done in brisbane? or will any old workshop do?

hmm one workshop comes to mind....

there a group buy on RDA rotors at the moment might be worth a look , get some slotted rotors

If you take the rotors off yourself, its like $5-10 per rotor. Make sure when you re-install them that the mating surfaces are completely clean, ie shiny metal. Any crap between these surfaces will also give you a shudder.

No need for new pads.
