vibration

Hi guy,

I haven't been around for a couple of weeks, I drove the car from France to Denmark, around 1700 miles everything was fine.
driving this machine through the non limited section of the German autobahn was a blast!
I didn't try to reach the top speed, I leave that to Steven, but at 250 km/h+ the car is rock solid.

however I now feel a slight vibration when I apply the brakes.

I immediately though about a warped rotor but they have been replaced 3 months, front and rear, ago and I can't believe that they are already worn out.
the tyres need to be changed and I thought that it might come from that.

any ideas?

Tires might be it. Also could be the bolt(s) connecting the caliper... Or... Have a tech look at it.

Yeah, I never thought about the bolts either/ever... until my wife burned through two calipers and FIALLY found a good tech who properly diagnosed her Jeep brake problem correctly.
