Brakes squeel SOOOOOOOOO loud. And also from a high speed there is a HueE vibration, I mean huge. Its very violent, depending onthe speed, and is most likely visible from the outside. As the car gets slower, like 5mph, the vibration is now very slow, and the car seems to slowly point up then down, if thats a good description...... This blows.

If I had to guess I would say you need new brakes?!? The squeal is probably the brake wear indicator, its pretty annoying. The vibration is your front rotors, they are warped.
If you need a cheap replacement you might ask Mr. Evulflea what hes going to do with all his extra brake parts now that he is getting GSX brakes...

Thanks for the offer. I PM'd you yesterday but I guess it didnt make it to ya. I might have some questions along the way, but I should be fine. I ordered the speedbleeders so that i could bleed the brakes by myself and I have used them on my motorcycle and boy-howdy they make it easier to bleed. Any tips for my conversion? -Chris b.

The install is pretty much straight forward. The hardest part was getting the stock rotors off, and a rubber mallet works pretty good for that. Its just two bolts, remove caliper, install new caliper with same bolts, hook up your SS line, bleed and you are done. Two calipers took me under an hour to replace.
And no, I didn't get your Pm, sorry For future reference just email directly jason2gnt@aol.com

Sorry bout hijacking your thread... but you should go back a couple of posts and read my post about the upgrading/replacing brakes... it sounds very similar to my dilemna. 1.) high pitched squeal while driving/braking... this is indicative of needing new pads. 2.) throbbing while braking... this is indicative of needing new rotors. See if your rotors are warped then when you brake it will kinda brake harder (where warped), then brake normally, then brake harder again as the rotor turns. this translates into a shimmy or vibration in the pedal or even the entire car if your rotors are really warped. You should go to Raceconcepts website and pick out some new rotors and pads... I just ordered mine today and if you talk to Wood and tell him you are from 2GNT/ASOG he will basically knock half of the web listed prices!! sweet ass deal... do it... brakes are kinda important... hope this makes up for stealing your thread. -chris b.
