Vibration while braking

Hey all,
I wanted to know if anyone knew what was going on?
When i apply my brakes, The car starts to vibrate and the steering wheel shakes really bad. You can really feel it when slowing down at high speeds. I wanted to know what could be causing this.

A friend told me that he thinks my rotors are warped, since the rotors of a Cavalier are so thin.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in Advanced

Yeah just replace the rotors and pads, and it should go away.
Had the same problem with my 2.2, changed those 2 things and it went away.

i have that same problem. well. i did. quite funny tho. i went out to the store to get new rotors. on my way home, i felt like acting stupid, so i was making a bunch of panic stops (nobody was around). After doing so, they warped themselves back into shape =S i didnt know it was possible. But its been about 2 months now and i havent had the vibrating problem. Braking hasnt been so smooth. I ended up taking the new rotors back to the store. hehe.

haha. well maybe there should be a sticky on getting rid of warped rotors, the fast, easy, and efficient way. lol

makes sense that braking like that would str8en them out..

just a high spot on your routers (or pad's) replace or replace is the question
