Default Pulsation..Do u have it?

When im driving my car normal and i come to stop, the car brakes fine. When i get on it and come to a stop the whole car shakes I know it's the rotors, but i was wondering if anyone else has this problem??

Don't turn them. It will cost only a few bucks more to put new ones on. Turning rotors is a scam. Besides, turned rotors just warp again, especially the crappy ones we have. Buy the cheap ones from Autozone. Your car will love you for it. Is your steering wheel shimmying at all?

There was a thread awhile back that explained what happened. Something to the effect of: GM used inferior rotors from Mexico, they know they are crap, and when they warp they throw another set of the same crap on the car. Booo.
