Break pedal moves in and out when brakeing

Dose this mean i have warped roters? When i goto stop i notice the break pedel push in and out real lighty.

That is most definitely a warped rotor easy and cheap fix

dose AWD and FWD use same rotors? cause im thinking of just sticking some stock ones back on there and getting them used from a parts yard.

Make sure you know which it is, front or rear - generally speaking the fronts will make the steering wheel shake, the rears will make the whole car shake - but not the steering wheel. Helps to have a micrometer to measure them and check each rotors' variation in thickness.

FWD and AWD have different front rotors so pay attention to which ones you get.

its the fronts for sure the whole font shakes like crazy as well as my steering wheel. I will just buy some new ones cause 2g AWD cars are rare around here and the junkyard but they do have alot on FWD N/T's

Is ebay rotors any good like slotted ones ? or should i go with stock ones from autozone

 

[imagine3163]

I would pick up a pair of these. They are only $10-20 more than stock rotors.

Power Slot Rotors

But, if money is an issue then just pick up some stock ones...they will work just fine for what many of us DSMers are wanting to do with our cars.

New generic rotors are super-cheap, Auto-zone style. Just yank the wheels, remove two bolts from caliper bracket (be sure to hang the caliper from something legit, NO DANGLING FROM THE BRAKE HOSE! I have a friend who rolled his S2000 due to that! Bend up an old coat-hanger and hang it from the coil spring.) There should be two 8mm threaded holes in the rotor hat. Put two screws in those holes and screw-em in. The old rotor will pop right out. Then slap it all back together. No need for new pads unless the old ones are too thin. The whole deal should cost 40-50 bucks. You'll probably feel dumb for not doing it sooner. Be sure to use a torque wrench on your wheels, or else you could warp the new rotors real quick.
P.S. Be sure to take out the two bolts that hold the caliper bracket to the knuckle, not the two slider bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket. Make sure the slider bolts slide freely. If they don't, then that's why your rotor is warped. Then you should get two new/rebuilt calipers.
