braking problem

When I am driving my 1995 z28 and I hit the brakes the car shakes really bad and as I slow down you can feel the pedal pulsating. It feels like its comming from the front end and I had the rotors turned and they are not warped. What do you guys think is going on? Thanks in advance for the help.

They are warped AGAIN. Try stopping with the E-brake only and no brake pedal. Should be okay. Then try normal stopping. Let me guess, you have an automatic. You need new rotors, and this time get notched or grooved rotors. Check them for warpage before you install them.

by turning the rotors it makes it more likly to warp since it is thinner. To get this whole mess behind you upgrade to the new style LS1 brakes they have 12 inch rotors instead of 10.8 inches. they increase stoping power very well. shave off 15 pounds. plus they bolt right in with no issues. costs about 250 shiped. they sell em on ebay all day long. you want a set with the idle arm, caliper, spinder and rotor.

After I the rotors were back on I took it to a shop cause I had no idea what was wrong they told me they think it is the hub and the bearings were sliding around in it. Could that be a possibility or you guys still think its the rotors?
