I wrote unplugged performance an email a while back. I know that the Tesla model 3 has the same OEM wheels specs as our car and they have a ceramic rotor option for the model 3, so inquired by email about pricing and if they could give me a direction for finding out if their rotors would work on our cars. I just got a return email today wanting me to call and give them some specs to ensure compatibility before quoting. I told them im working tonight but will call them Monday so I'll post bracket up my findings Monday
8100 miles starting to notice a shimmy when applying brakes WTF , and no I don't drive it like I stole it, well maybe once in a while but not to warrant A shimmy at this low mileage. GT2 AWD , i'm wondering if the AWD makes a difference .
No...I'm RWD I think KIA got the weakest brembo brake system as far as keeping vibrance to a minimum. The actual goal is/ should be ZERO vibration of braking system. How good is it for our cars and all of it's components, or any car really, to have a complete car shuddering effect on brake speeds above 25 mph? Is it good for our shocks longetivity? Probably not. And I'm sure it wears everything out much much faster. Then there is the safety issue, of how it feels to the driver and it mask road feel issues because they are muted behind the continuous vibration. We will see long term but I don't like it currently. Ugh
It appears that this rotor problem is worldwide, I'm not looking for aftermarket products to fix this ,this is Kia's problem. It appears that this problem is starting to grow legs at least on the stinger fourm . For those of you who don't quite understand, if when you apply the break at anytime you get any kind of wobble vibration or feel anything strange in the steering wheel or brake pedal , take it in and have it checked out. When you put your foot on the break your car should stop smooth as glass . Sooner or later it will start affecting your tires , and other components. So don't blow it off get it looked up make them fix it.
