HELP! Stoptech BBK (or any BBK) Question!
OK guys,
Hoping this has happened to someone else, so i can get this fixed ASAP.
So i have a Stoptech BBK, and recently, brakes have been squeaking. So i took out all my rotors and got the surface machined. Then i took out the pads and sanded them down.
So most of the noise is gone, BUT, i have this nastyyyy vibration when i brake from 50,60,70,80 mph. any ideas to what is causing this vibration?
Usually it would be caused by warped rotors, but they have just been resurfaced. Pads are new and sanded down as well.
And, i never had this awful vibration prior to this maintenance on the brakes.
If someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Did they turn the rotors with the "hats" (black aluminum center piece) still attached? This would be the only way to really get them true.
I'm not sure that two-piece rotors really 'like' being turned.
When I replaced my front StopTech pads I replaced the friction rings (rotor surface rings) and I re-used the rotor hats. No vibration issues at all!

Yep, they turned it with the hats still attached.
I guess my only concern is that they didn't do a good job turning the rotors, but the guy is pretty reputable in the Socal area, supposedly does really good work.
The only thing i can think of is that the hat of the rotor has these little things you can tighten, and supposedly you're supposed to re torque those when you turn the rotors.
Don't know if this will cause the vibration to go away. Anybody else hear of this?

The only thing that it can point to is your brakes. I would beat that your rotors weren't turned perfectly. If they aren't turned perfect your going to have a little movement in it, the faster your going, the more movement you have. Just trying to help.
