car shakes during hard braking As the title says, every time i go down the grade (very large hill when driving to school) I drop down a few gears and brake but everytime i brake my car starts shaking. My steering wheel is all over the place and the car is chattering. Does this mean that my rotors are warped, that is what i suspect.

warped rotors. do a brake job, turn or replace rotors, and youll be fine. dont drive like that for too long, itll shake your front end loose. joints, alignment, etc.

Don't bother with the factory rotors, they'll just warp again... Just get some aftermarket ones and be done with it, there are many replacements out there that are stock sized.
