Did a search and couldnt find a thing... For some reason when I apply generous pressure to my brakes when traveling over 100mph I seem to be getting alot of vibration. Im only experiencing this at high speeds and not around town. I had this problem along with the squealy noises so I brought the car to the dealer. I got my rotors turned and pads replaced. The Squeally noise went away but the vibration remains. The dealer wont adress the problem because of the high speed. Im wondering if I need new rotors, or if this is normal behavior. Has anyone else experienced this???

How about getting a (good) high speed re-balancing? Tell them you drive 100+mph (hopefully only on track!) and you need special attention to the balance. If your wheels are out of balance even a bit, or the balance machine is not calibrated well (this has happened to me) but not enough to feel in the steering wheel when just driving along, clamping down with the brakes on the rotors will certainly make vibration felt through the steering wheel.

could be...

Pad deposits....but if they turned the rotors...probably not
"warped rotors" see above usually pad deposits.....
real warped rotors
out of balance wheel......should do it all the time though..
Wheel bearing...
loose caliper bolts or sticky caliper slide...should cause brakes to stick...and heat up...feel them with your hand...one side is usually hotter
other front suspension play...

Can't think of much else it could be

sounds like pad deposits.... turning wont fix it... but garnet paper will help... send me a pm and i will try to find it...
