i own a 98 SVT and i am on my 3rd set of rotors in less than a year and a half the damn car eats them up. i get a new set of OEM rotors and good pads and within a couple weeks im back to the same freaky ass vibration in the wheel when i brake medium to hard at higher speeds. why is this happening and should i check anything else? will SS brake lines help?

what pads are you using? if they produce more heat than stock, what do you think will happen to your stock rotors? better stopping = more friction = more heat.

when installing new rotors and pads you have to "season" them b4 u can really drive and brake hard on them or they will warp use the search and youll find the write up on how to "season" pads and rotors, also if the brake bias is screwed somehow(happened on my last car) the bias was totally on the front and the rear brakes never engaged and it was like 95% brake bias on front rotors and they warped every couple months because of this and that "could" be a posibility.

im using mintex pads on OEM SVT rotors and it also happened when i used to have the EBC greenies. if its a brake bias problem, how do you go about fixing that??

Start by bleeding new fluid down to all of your brake calipers. You can get one man brake bleed kits from your auto parts store. The kit is comprised of a tube with a spring loaded ball bearing check valve at the end. Cheap & easy to do yourself. About the only other tools you will need is your tire changing stuff & a brake line wrench for the bleed nipples.

Brake fluid has a tendency to absorb water/moisture so I flush my brake system & bleed my brakes every 1 or 2 years. I have NEVER had a brake problem or failure.

Both these pads have been known to put out noticeably more heat than stock. Use the search feature to read more on your rotor situation...
