Warped rotors. Either replace the rotors or have you current ones resurfaced. I had my Powerslots resurfaced this past April, worked wonders for me.

What they said... rotors are warped.



You should probably just light them on fire...

Just buy new rotors.

Or if it didnt do it until you lowered the car, check to make sure everything is tight.

You should probably do that before replacing your rotors.
