20K on my 2014 and front brakes pulse badly!

[mdoffroad]

Ok, so with only 20,000 miles on my 2015 Sonic Hatchback LT, the pedal pulsation is pretty obnoxious at stops now. In my old Jeeps, We would do EBC or Stillen rotors, EBC or Summit pads and be done... there just isn't the support for these cars.... sooo what can I do?

sounds like a tire rotation would help, I had the same issue around the same miles, i thought it was brakes too but after a tire rotation the shaking went away.
i"m at 56k miles and still on factory brakes ..

get them turned at Meineke, or ORielly Auto (you'll be without a car for a bit but they'll turn them)

Buy a new set online, put them on, have old set turned, rotate per episode of pulsation

BrakeBest Select Drum/Rotor/Hub 580769RGS - Brake Rotor | O'Reilly Auto Parts

About $35. Easy to DIY if you've tools, (wrench, Phillips screwdriver, c-clamp (use this to compress the piston back fully so the new pads/rotor have clearance))

I guess my question is, if I was a little "spirited" in my driving and was tired of the limits of the factory brakes, is there a decent upgrade for rotors? The factory pads seem to do a very good job and the compound is about spot on...

Might have found my solution.. I keep forgetting about Summit!

Powerstop did GREAT on all the vehicles we put them on, especially the warp prone WJ Grand Cherokees and Caravans...
this might be my solution.. now to find the funds! lol
