All three of them that is. I have noticed more noise than normal, but slowly getting use to it. The minister of war and finance notices it more when she gets in the car.After some spiritted driving lately, the shudder has come back.Looks like the rear OEM rotors will need to come off and some T2s go on.If I still have an issue then the control arm bushes need to be looked at as they have done 48200km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine only happens on medium to heavy brake applications; so been trying to go gentle on them cause too poor ATM :/ Are you positive its the rears causing vibrations? How can you tell?

I was having some spirited driving last week as mentioned and at one point it was bad.I choose to slow down for a bit to allow it to cool off. Took a good 2 minutes to cool off before the shudder went away.As soon as I got back on it, the shudder came back but not as bad.By the time I got home, no more shudder.

(even when the rotors are cold like first thing in the morning). Its mainly through steering wheel and you can feel a little bit near the peddles/front of the car (I.e. if my left foot is flat on the floor). I have a weird clunking noise too and when speaking to RDA guy; he seems to suggest that since the shudder was there before their rotors were put on, and then 5000kms of smooth no shudder driving, and now its back again...he thinks there is something causing my rotors to stuff up very early. He said its best to sort out that issue first, otherwise if I machine my discs, chances are that the shudder will come back very soon and said to look at bushes and steering bushes (whatever the f*ck that is? lol)....it sounds like a whole bunch of people shifting the blame to other people, but whatever :/ Its just BS, cause fraud said I would need to leave the car with them for a day, so worst case they could charge me 6-7hrs of labour @ $159p/hour...and that's not acceptable for something that they have NFI what is causing the clunking/shudder....My plan of attack will be to get my family mechanic to install the springs/billys I have in my lounge room....and take them for a drive and while the front end is up, see if there is anything obviously loose or damaged. Been to 3 different places so far and each one say "your bushes look fine" even though I have over 110,000kms and most people on here tend to suggest bushes go bad every 100,000kms or so? Bloody vibrations....had this issue with my last car (stagea) and that ended up costing me a fortune trying to get rid of it....in the end I could only get it 90% right so just gave up..which is probably what will happen with my car now :( FML Sorry for wasting space on this forum with my big ass post....should have wrote this in the WPYO thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it helps you much I fixed mine mainly by having superpro front suspension bushes put in, then after that new rotors fixed the other 20%.It is back a little bit though if I do very high speed stops like at Racewars 220kmh to 40. That was befoe Brembo upgrade so we'll see how it goes next year. Actually I'm keen to hit the 1/4 again which will see almost 200 as well which will be a good test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trolling the site looking at sway bars and noticed they have heaps of bushes too....Also anyone using the rear or front whiteline sway bars on their FG sedan? What would happen if I put only rear sway bar in - would it be more prone to oversteer?And what setting do people use - I notice the 2 point rears have soft or hard setting? Just go hard for ultimate stiffness therefore less body roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC some roll is good and is needed to maintain grip at the rear of the car. Too stiff and you lose traction! I think often just stiffening the front bar is enough. Keen to hear from anyone that's done the front and then later the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
