You have some warped rotors. You didnt take good care of them out of the box did you?

Get yourself some performance rotors... follow the rotor break in proceedure and they will NEVER EVER warp

So you bought the car on a salvage title?

All rotors have different prices.

yes i bought it on salvage title, got it to rebuilt. bought it for 5g canadian but fixing it was a pain in the a**. came up to 17g in total with airbags etc.
I was going to ask you. on the ownership it says gts and when i checked the vin number it also said gts at www.carfax.com but the car says gt, how do i check if its gt or gts

All i know is that you have wasted an incredible amount of money. The car has basically ZERO resale value

really? that just took my passion towards my car. if i was to sell it how much do u think i can sell a once salvaged vehicle, pretty sure its more then how much i fixed it for? oh well i guess i messed up. but atleast it gets alot of attention down here in toronto.
