Hi all,
ok here is the deal. I imported me a 1995 Celica Gt just about 6 months ago. What a great car!  Anyways, the brake(s) were really bay, when I braked the whole car shaked an vibrated. I could also feel the vibration in the brakepedal. So I thought, bad disc! I should also mention that it seemed like the vibration came from right front brake. I changed both front discs, pads and shims. (Also changed rear pads and shims) Wolaa, problem solved! I was very happy. Then about 2 months later i decided to rebuild all of my calipers (front and rear), and so I did. Jup, woked fine for a long time. Bud now, guess what? The problem is back! I can't understand what's wrong. I may have driven about 6-7000kms since disc replacement. Bad disc again?  What can I do about this? Machine the disc? But I guess the problem will come back..

just remove your brake pads and calipers and it'll stop shaking.

Hahaha, I should really just drive without them..! I can remember I had a speed run against a Pueguot once and the road was really harsh, braked a lot and hard. Well, I replaced the rotors with original Toyota ones. Any suggestions for good rotors that is a direct bolt on?

you might want to check into upgraded ceramic pads such as EBC or sumthing similar
and drilled rotors such as i-rotors |

nopi has brembo rotors for 21 each, 12-15 to ship each
also when you get your rotors trimed, cut or replaced, sand the pads down a little, get the glaze off them --------------------  |

Called Toyota today and wohoo! They are giving me new rotors for free since it is covered by some sort of warranty
What should I do with them when I get the new ones? Should I brake them in?

you always want to break them in take it easy for a few hundred miles then try to brake earlier and lighter from now on

stop putting glazed pads on fresh rotors, see if you can get new pads free too!
