Hi Guys,

Driving over 80km/ph then normal braking, I get a shudder in the car and the steering wheel vibrates (can see it clearly) .. thinking the possibility that it could be a warped rotor.. I was wondering,

1. Average cost of machining and what trade does brake rotor machining?

2. If buying a new one.. assuming its one front rotor.. do I need to replace both ?

3. What brand/model for regular street driving (no performance/track stuff).. in this case, 05' Honda CRV

I'm a bit of a beginner, though have worked a little on cars with basic stuff... but have always just gone to supercheap / repco / autobarn ... and now, thinking about it.. where else can you buy this stuff from?

Are there any brands that perform better than the brands you buy from the above stores.. for the same or similar price?... or are there any decent brands that are actually cheaper?

I did watch a video clip earlier, and the mechanic was saying that often, aftermarket brake pads can be harder than the OEM rotors, and because of this, the pads can damage / warp the rotors .. anyone heard of this ?


Thanks,
