The BRAKES!!!!

I know this has been talked about before but I just wanted to clarify if anybody has had their brakes fixed under warranty for shaking cause mine only have 12000 miles on them and are really bad and I am getting ready to take it in to the dealer to have it fixed with my oil change.

Same here. My rotors where completely grooved. They resurfaced them for free for me. Now no more shaking.

Hell i just noticed my wheel shaking back and forth when i let go of the wheel while comming to a stop. Im only at 4800 miles, and I also had them resurface the grooved rotors when i got the car at 260 miles. These rotors are balsa wood.

Mine are in great shape, then again I don't even have 3,000km on the car yet. When your work is about 5km's away and school is only 34km's away. You don't tend to put a lot of mileage on the car.

Just a thought, but shaking brakes were a big problem with Evo's. People would replace rotors only to have the brakes shaking again a few weeks later. It turns out that the root of the problem wasn't the rotors. It was uneven distribution of break pad material on the rotor. It seems that if you did some hard breaking when everything was still cold, you would get spots of break pad material on the rotor which would make everything shake.
