Brake pulsating
Has anyone else noticed the pulsating\surging\rythmic grabbing of the brakes when they stop?
Its not in the pedal just the car "grabs" slightly when you brake. In the past with other vehicles I have owned it was "annealing" with hard\soft spots on the rotors but not sure of the Vette.
Any thoughts?

I'm sure that you know that when you put the wheels back on the car the lug nuts must be pulled down evenly in a criscross pattern down to the required torque (mine is 100#). This is so when the brakes heat up the pull from the lug bolts is even and the rotors will not warp due to the uneven pull. I found that the tire shops that use the air tools that can have the torque preset some times run the nuts down with a standard impact and then check them with the torque limiting tool not realizing that the standard tool ran the nuts down past the required torque limit. Thus warping your rotors. I always loosen then retorque when I get home from the tire store.
