Front Brakes

Hey Everyone!

I need to change my front brakes. When I press down on the pedal my steering wheel shakes left to right. Its pulsating and I believe the front rotors are warped. They rear is fine for now but am mostly concerned about the front. What rotors/pads should I get? Maybe I can get some drilled rotors? With of course ceramic pads. But I want to know which are the better quality and where to buy.

I have read threads on brakes here but I want answers from you guys directly to me on this new thread.

Again Thanks Everyone!

P.S I ordered the LED Tails MAX2DAMAX.

Also check the calipers to make sure one is not binding and causing the vibration. How many miles do you have on your Max? There are so many different brake set-ups out there. I have Pro-rotor drilled an slotted rotors and Hawk pads. I have had no problems with them. I suggest no matter what set-up that you decide to buy change all 4 rotors and pads.
