    Hey folks!

    2006 GP GT 3.8L V6 SC

    So I decided to change my brakes/rotors last fall, and started out with a few beers in. Stupid me jacked up the car in the slanted driveway and the car fell off the jack onto the driver's rotor. Jacked it back up and put it on the flat road.

    Changed all 4 rotors n pads and the car was fine all fall and this past winter.

    Now that it got warm out, I get a vibration in the seat and stearing wheel when doing 100-120km/h (60-75mph) (guessing it's front end). It was colder out the other day and this vibration seemed to vanish!

    The only thing I can think of to cause tempurature to affect wheels is the tire pressure. My tires are 17's and kinda low profile and hanging on 3mm left on them, so perhaps I will need new ones? Perhaps I have hit a pothole (I know I have hit several big ones) and broke a metal belt in the tire, and the tire pressue will show this in a vibration?

    Also when turning at 100-120km/h the vibration seems less, so again, tire belt related?

    I'm was thinking of putting my spare on each and trying it out, but 100-120km/h is too fast for a spare. Maybe I'll find a real tire to test against? Maybe I will just let some air out of one tire at a time to pin point it? Maybe I bought a cheap rotor that warped?

    Any other advice? Thanks!
