Question Help with strange brake problem

Hello, i'm having brake problems and i'm not quite sure what needs to be fixed. It feels like the rotors are warped (hard pulsing...almost to a dangerious extent sometimes), except it only starts after i've been driving the car for awhile (10 minutes of city driving). I do know that the front rotors where turned before I bought the car (about 15k miles ago). Any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm trying to get my car in good running order before I try to sell it for an LS1 (its a 98 v6). If it was the rotors I would be feeling hard choping at all stops, not just select times...right? Could this be an ABS sensor, or something to do with the calpers/pistons/etc? The car has 57k easy miles on it...

I have searched this forum and many others for several months now and cant decide what it is.

Thanks,
-Justin

Re: Help with strange brake problem

At what "Select" times do you feel the chopping at?

The stock rotors could warp again that quicky. Yes, they are THAT good. Also check the lug nut torque. If they're too tight it'll cause warping too.
