Most cars do that under heavy braking, dont they?

Mostly 2 pc floating rotors. 1 pc rotors are quiet.

the issue with stock rotor is that when a prolong driving and stopping on the road, the steering feels a bit unease during braking.

i have read through the forum and found out that other member having the same issue.

just would like to know whether the upgraded rotor might reduce the wobbling steering during braking?

Under heavy braking any performance car is going to have a tendency to track the grooves in the road. This isn't a 370Z specific problem, it's just physics.

I think the wobble he is referring to is when the rotors are a little warped. Mine are that way since I have did a full autocross season this year. I am looking at something that is street friendly but holds up way better when I throw some autocross/track time at it. I am guessing steel lines and fluid will help with the break fade (high temps = bad braking... or breaking bad lol). I am thinking a stoptech or better rotor and then pads... eh.. i keep looking at the specs. I know a lot of people buy the hawk racing pad thinking that they are going to be great for cross application.. but what i am reading is they are specifically designed for high temp track application. The Black and HPS pads from hawk are more for street/track.... I guess if your doing nothing but track then track pads are the way to go.. I think I am more street than track at this point.... I might just get a set to use for track (or get a miata to use for track).

I would hope he's gotten it handled sometime in the last two years
