Ok, I had made a post a long time back saying that there was a clicking noise coming from my brakes. I got really loud, and eventually, the car started shaking when stopping (wrapped rotors), and then had problems stopping. I had gotten a brake job, and everything was fine. I then got rims.
Last week on Thursday, I winterized my car... put the stock wheels back on. I ended up racing a 05 Tiberon (190hp stock), and toasted him pretty good on the expressway. 0-120mph. I ended up hitting the brakes kinda hard, but nothing too bad. So now, the brakes are starting to click again. It's the right front again also. Now, I shouldn't have to be changing brakes all the time like this. The front rotors have been machined twice within 1 1/2 years, and I think I need new ones anyways.
But I'm thinking, can my stock wheel be causing this problem? They didn't make a single noise with the rims on. But the stockers back on, and now the brakes are messed up again. Over tighten? I don't think so. Any thoughts? Thanks

can you feel pulsing in the brakes? Its usually not good to have rotors turned twice, especially stock ones. You should look into getting some new rotors. I actually have a set of used powerslot rotors that came off of my 98 gst. They are in great shape, im getting rid of them for 70 shipped.

they should fit your car, there only about a year old. They Powerslot brand. If you want them, email me and ill shipem to ya. Oh yeah, these rotors can be turned also, so if they warp they are fixable, thats an upside to the powerslot rotors.
