IM TRULY NOT HARD ON MY BRAKES, believe me, i have a lead foot but i never wait to the last minute to use the brakes, so why is this happening, ive only got 47,000 miles on it

What rotors are you using now that it has done it again?
It's not only the WS6. It's GM rotors, ...

Welcome to the pulsating club, My 00 SS and my 00 T/A about every 5000 miles start pulsating, both are low mileage beauties, Garage Queens what ever.

Tried the drilled and slotted rotors on the front of the SS and they sound like meat grinders. UGH!

use brembo blanks next time..........OR just buy the cheap ass chinese rotors and hope for the best....on my 99z i ran them for a good 20k up until i sold the car w/o them warping ..delco rotors are a ripoff

I put Wagner Brake rotors and Bosch Pads(Made by performance friction) on my car. The rotors are listed as thicker than stock to avoid warpage and cracking. Part numbers BD125618 on the rotors. I have had them on since winter. I have had them at the track, I have gone on decent trips, and had to lock them up solid more than once to avoid non-driving idiots. No warpage at all! I am very happy with them and the price was alot less than drilled and slotted. I have them here at my store for sale.

Thanks a bunch guys!.. by the way, yup they are definately showing beginning signs of warpage ONCE AGAIN,... went out at lunch today, and noticed it for sure,.. DAMN IT!

I've used duralast rotors from Autozone and had good luck. I've heard that not torquing the lug's down correctly may warp rotors over time.

[DIRTY JERZY]

Yes over torquing your lugs will warp your rotors fairly quick I got cheap x drilled sloted rotors and hawk pads from ebay for around 280 all 4 rotors and pads think they are xs or somthing like that I have had no problems with them only get the grind on hard stops and its not that loud my car stops on a dime no pulse

[Kingbird]

Yeah make sure you tq them to spec.

try www.ws6store.com

that is where i've got mine, and im using ceramic pads. I have no problems, and brakes feel & look awesome.
