Braking Vibration at High Speed Only
Brakes are working great below approximately 90mph. Above 90, when applied, I'm getting a vibration and a bit of a grinding feel.
Using stock pads currently. They look like they have a fair amount of material left. They have about 8,000 miles on them. They have two track events and a half dozen aggresive driving days. The rest of the mileage is normal driving.
Checked the rotor thickness recently. They were right in the middle; between new and minimum thickness. Pretty sure they are original rotors (I'm second owner). Have about 24,000 miles on the clock.
Recently changed brake fluid to ATE super blue. (Better pedal feel after that.) Haven't gotten the brakes hot enough to verify my fading problem is gone that I experienced at the last track event, but I'm pretty sure it was the fluid.
Time for new pads maybe?
Turn the rotors if I can maintain above minimum thickness?
How are Pagid Orange?
