abs

Given you have a couple of concerns and I'm guessing you're not mechanically experienced, I would take it to a workshop that does brakes. They're fairly important, lol

If you have warped discs it's most likely that you'll be able to have the discs machined - basically they put it in a machine that skims some metal off to make it flat again, similar idea to a lathe. Shouldn't cost you too much, I think retail it's something like $20 a disc (never paid for it, sorry). Given that your car is fairly new you shouldn't need replacement rotors, there should be plenty of meat left on them.

If your pedal is soft you might benefit from a fluid change and having the brake lines bled properly, to make sure there isn't any air in them. It's also possible that you have a weak spot in a line somewhere, like a hernia. When you press the pedal some of the effort goes into inflating this herniated spot rather than on working the brakes, so you lose a lot of feel... and if it bursts you have no brakes.

Either way a brake specialist will be able to sort it out for you

No problems mate, glad I'm good for something

I had the wheels aligned a few days after i bought it when i had new rubber fitted. Which is a good thing as the back wheels were aligned in the opposite direction to the front.

I've got it booked in to have the discs straightened and the lines bleed as well, in a few days. Hopefully that's all that it will need.

Cheers, will do.

sounds like warped disc to me...soft pedal, i was using ferodo ds2000 i had a soft pedal changed pads to project mu i now have a harder pedal.

so should i put Gen 4 stuff on while i am doing the brakes?

In response to my issue with steering wheel shutter a few weeks ago. It was warped discs as advised , so thanks heaps for the feedback fellas. I haven't had a chance to test the problem under any hard braking, due to running in some new pads. But so far the problem hasn't reoccurred since having the discs machined. Apparently ABS and brake lines all checked out fine.
