Brake vibration at high speed?
All,
MY SL550 vibrates when I brake at high speed. I replaced F&R brake pads and rear rotors. It still does the same thing. The only part that I haven't replaced is the front rotors. You thing that can be the source of vibration? I appreciate any advice!!

Pads do not normally cause vibration unless they are damaged. Most likely the cause are your rotors. They can warp due to the high heat generated from braking from high speed over time. SL rotors are thin, so its not recommended that you turn them. Replacement is the best option.
