braking question

hello i'm currently using a Endless 6 Pot braking system for my front tyres and 4 Pot for my rear.

The thing is when i am going fast and i press on the brake hard the thing shakes very hard and my steering as well.

Is that normal?

Sounds like you warped your rotors. Get some new ones.

That is not normal. A new brake setup must be bed-in properly. With a high performance braking system you must do a series of moderate to hard brake applications to heat up the brakes and transfer an even layer of pad material on to the rotor. If you don't properly bed the pads then you can end up with uneven pad material deposits that lead to shaking during brake applications. It is very unlikely that you warped your rotors. You should try re-bedding your pads and see if the problem goes away. The Stoptech website has good info on this. You could also look for info on the Endless site that may be specific to their products.

it means if you bought this brake system new.. you have to give it a break in period.. so the pads bed in with the rotors and they have a smoother friction area for smoothe braking.. or else.. you might feel some vibration from the wheel when they are not proerly broken in... if you bought these used.. odds are they are warped.. you need new pads an rotors..

And it is very unlikely you have warped rotors. Try the bed-in procedure in the thread I linked and see if it helps.
