Ok so iv noticed that at high speed when I use my brakes im getting quite alot of movement from my steering wheel. I have had a quick glance at my brakes and I think I am in need of new pads from what I can see by just taking a quick look. Also one of the rear discs has a thin indentation so with that in mind ill be needing to replace my rear disc as it coule be warped.

I know the problem could also be down to tracking/wheel alignment etc so ill have wait till I can get here onto a ramp and checked out but if it is the breaks can you guys please give me a rough costing of the following please:

New pair of stock rear discs (the front discs look new)
Performance pads (I think ill need a better pad than stock, im running just over 400BHP and tbh I would like a little bit more out of my pads.

Cheers guys!

I'd recommend EBC Yellowstuff pads.

Call some of the traders on here for prices; I got my rear discs from Conceptua, great price and speedy delivery.

sounds like a warped disc, that certainly can cause your symptoms

The rear discs sound pretty shot so they need replacing.

Steering wheel influence is more likely to come from the front. Warped discs perhaps. Have you got a pry bar onto the front tension rod bushes to see if they are knackered?

Hello mate thanks for the reply, right I have just had a quick look at the disc and have not had a proper inspection so its just guess work at the moment untill I can take it for an inspection as I have no equipment or know how etc. I do know for a fact tho that I need to replace a bush at the rear, is iot best to replace them all?

I dont think ill be going with nissan stock discs tho as there pertty pricy so if any sellers here can help me out with something good please let me know.

Ill also get all the tracking sorted as well as wheel alignment etc when I get the discs and pads put on so hopefullty that will sort it out.
