    New Rotor brand check them out

    Thanks for the link to the white paper. Interesting reading. I may not actually need new rotors(?). I'll have to look at them and the pads. I have a very noticeable shimmy with moderate to hard braking. I'll have to take a look at my own records. I believe I changed pads (?) in the last 38 K...
