Shaky Braking
The following is from the weights and measures sticky:
"Shaky braking
The front brake rotors warp easily under heavy braking…or at least that’s what uneducated drivers think. I tend to believe StopTech: http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/...otors_myth.htm
I verified this by lightly grinding my rotors with steel wool. Garnet paper is recommended, but I haven’t tried it."
Any suggestions on where to get garnet paper?

Any hardware/woodworking/home improvement store. Reason for garnet sandpaper is that it will not grind/cut into rotor material.
You just want to remove the surface glaze.

It is a cheap replacement for rotors -
It does not sound like they are Glazed, thus using sandpaper you speak of, your ROTORS sound waroed and "NP" amount of sanding will change that!
The swap of rotors is really easy on our Vette's and there are plenty of options from stock to you wildest dreams!
my suggestion is PM Gene Culley @ GM Partshouse and get a set of Drilled and slotted fronts and rears and call it a day - New Pads too - GM C5 Z06 work great for this app
Thanks,Matt 661-406-7516

Ha. Didn't even notice that. I copied and pasted it directly from the Weights and Measures thread stuck to the top of this discussion group. I've fixed it. Thanks.
