> Are you torquing your lugs properly? Zimmerman’s are good brakes and shouldn’t warp easy at all and I wouldn’t believe it was your driving habits. Are your wheels balanced properly? Air pressure correct? Wheel bearings all good? All of these things could cause a “warped rotor” feel.

lug nuts seem okay. theyre tight but not overtightened. on the other hand i do not own a torque wrench, so i cant give u a number. wheels are balanced. i recently bough all 4 new tires, so that should be okay, it doesnt shake at speed. air pressure is good, i check if every couple of weeks at a mobil near my house(they have free air). wheel brearings are good. when my car was in for service during the last oil change they said wheel bearings are good to go.

when im driving around and i lightly touch the brake, theres no vibration, then i press it in a little more and it shakes like warped rotors do. the speed doesnt matter at this point. i could be going 90 or 30 and trying to slow down. then if i press the pedal in more, the feeling dissapears, till i let it out a bit. so about midway through the travel i get the shaking. they also look a bit scored, kinda like the OEM ones when i changed them. i can take a pic if you want.
