Default C8 Braking
Hi everyone, i have a 2020 C8 Z51, when i brake i get a rumble like I'm going over bumps. I thought it was the brake calipers, but it doesn't happen all the time, a little worse on wet roads, any idea what it could be?

Possibly warped rotors, or the antilock is pulsating when it shouldn't be.

i don’t think it is the calipers, only 10 k miles, is the antilock pulsating a big issue to fix, and thank you for your help

It should not be the antilock pulsating unless something is wrong with the system. Just bring it to a dealer and have them test drive it. Whatever it is, I'm sure they will be able to quickly root cause it assuming it's easy to reproduce.

Could be the pads are worn to the limits. On the track I burn a new set of OEM pads down to the pins in 2 days and they shutter like crazy.

Just kind of hard to believe, car has never been tracked, and its not consistent. I appreciate your input, thank you
