Default Brake juddering...

Do i need new pads and resurfaced rotors? I've experienced shuddering and now it's juddering at high speed stops (from 120 to 80 mph)

It could be many things..Your rotors could be warped, your pads could be gone, or your rotors just needs to be resurfaced. Take your car to a shop and let them inspect it.

from experience... any rotor that is warped now, and is machined, will warp again VERY soon... replace any warped rotors... when i mean warped, i mean when you step on the brakes, your steering wheel shakes furiously...

if your rotors are not warped, but instead, there's a lip or a groove in the rotor, then it's okay to machine or resurface them...

i checked my pads last weekend, and they do need to be replaced soon. My steering does not shake furiously, but my brake pedal does. Either way i am going to order hawk pads and then take it to a shop. Thanks for the help guys!
