On the advice of many here I purchased NEW Blank Centric front brake rotors (high carbon) for street use with Sport brakes. They're actually also labeled as Stop Tech Sports on the box btw.

Wheels were torqued to spec off the ground and all else remained the same. Upon 1st drive I got steering wheel shimmy from 50 mph on up.

I then thoroughly cleaned the scale from the rotor to hub mating area and from the year old wheel to hub connection and again torqued the wheels off the ground. I still had steering wheel shimmy the from 50 mph and above.

The 90k mile OE rotors do not exhibit the same issue so I assume we can rule out suspension health.

Anyone else with a similier experience with Centrics or others? Other than replacing the rotors again, is there something I missed?
