Brake shudder?

[MTAMERC9]

I recently replaced the factory rear tires with KDW-2's. I started to notice that when I brake at higher speeds I seem to get a shudder or vibration in my brake pedal. I don't know if this is b/c I went up a size in my tire or what. Any ideas?

Any recent hard stops, possibly at high speeds?

Possibly warped rotors.

I just hit 33,000 miles and have a simialr vibration. I think the right front brake isnt grabbing properly. Do any of your rotors have less of a polished look (my right one looks like the brakes are not squeezing as hard as the others)

High speeds in a Marauder?...lol. Well thats simple...of course! I have recently felt the car pull to the right every now and then when I brake. I am going to have to check the brakes too. Any body have any feedback or suggestions on cross drilled rotors and pads? Thanks

rotors probably need turned like Rider 90 said^^I had this at 14000 miles very common with alot of vehicles.

Had KDW2s installed a couple Fridays ago. No braking problems to report.

Glad I had them on though. Was jumping across town on I-4 at lunch time, traffic moving about 60 in the far left lane with heavy traffic. All of a sudden, traffic is at a dead stop. Oh, Crap. :eek: Got to test out the new tires, antilock braking, my reflexes, the seat leather all at the same time. Tires stuck to the pavement, antilock brakes pulsed, reflexes twanged tight, leather seat cleaned up nicely. Turned out to be a truck with one of those huge rolls of cable had stopped in the left side emergency lane. The cable trailer was couple feet wider than the e-lane, sticking into the traffic lane.

I tend to agree that the rotors are warped. :(
