Question about brakes?
I have a 2003 g35 sedan and I replaced the pads about 10,000 miles ago. Now my car start to shake when braking at high speeds. I know that it's the rotors. So should I just go resurface them or should I just wait and get the Stoptech Stage 2 Kit?

Shakey brakes.............
Yes, the shakes are caused by warped discs. You can either have them
turned or replace them with aftermarket discs.........this your already aware
of. Why not have them turned if they are still within specs? The cause of
warped discs is gererally installing the wheels with an impact wrench........
have them use a torque wrench when tightening your lugs.....quality shops
do this automaticallty! Have the discs turned and use Hawk HP pads but
don't forget to follow the break-in proceedure....no squeeks....80% less
dust and great stopping ability!

when you resurface the rotors they become thinner and thinner rotors will warp faster and when they will go bad you will have to pay labor again to change them... so its 2xLabor +$$ for resurface
so for me it is a waste of money
