I think my rotors might be warped, when I brake everything is cool but right before the car comes to a complete stop I get a loud grinding noise and vibration of the pedal. It dosent do it all the time though only seems to happen when everything is heated up. I know its not my new pads because it used to do it on my old pads for a month before I changed them.

if your rotors are warped...it won't be a vibration u'd feel but a pulsation(the car will feel like someons is stepping on the pedal, letting go, stepping again, letting go again pretty quickly). if u press, release, press, release the pedal really fast...that's what a warped rotor would feel like. loud grinding noise and vibrations of the pedal sound like there might be an issue with the pad to rotor surface. if u have the time or convenience, just take a wheel off and take a look around the rotor front and back for abnormal wear. check the brake pads too. enjoy =)

thanks I didnt change my rear pads but the grinding sounds like its coming from the from, I know when they had my wheels of a RRE my rear rotors were worn down they had a nice grove.

bevo, i've heard a lot about out brake systems developing this groove after extensive wear...i'm slightly getting one on my car but at this point its still normal wear. a groove can be cause by quite a few things(such as a rock stuck on the brake pad). might want to just pull the brakes apart really quick and examine the pads all around, as well as the rotors... u can do a search on the groove issue on evolutionm.net....quite a few complaints if i remember correctly

You sure it isnt ABS being triggered?
