Shakey Brakes?

When ever i get above 50 and push on the breaks a little, the whole car shakes. It really ****es me off, anyone know why this might happen or what i can do to fix it.

Your rotors may be warped.

That does sound like your rotors are warped. How old are they and how many miles are on them? There are two ways to solve that problem, turn them or replace them. If you're close to needing pads this might be a good time to look at them too. Personally, I don't like turning rotors and lean towards replacement.

I have the same problem, it is the rotors. I have been working at a shop and twice a day we have cars come in with warped rotors. Just take the car to a shop and they should charge $10-20 to resurface the rotors. Very easy.
