[s-cars] The Big Blacks shimmy

[t44tq at mindspring.com]

Igor,
Are you certain you have no pad deposition issues?

Occasionally, my car would do the same, but it never
showed up at the track and hasn't lately.

No control arm or swaybar bushing wear?

Did you mike the rotors to see if they're warped?

Taka

Folks,
this is strange.
My Big Blacks shimmy under light pedal application ONLY if I am braking
from above 60 mph. The steering wheel shakes rather violently if braking
from above 100 mph. No shimmy whatsoever in city traffic in stops from
50 mph and below.

I am utterly puzzled. The brakes have been properly broken in. And no, I
didn't do any track events lately, just normal city driving. Hell, I
didn't even warp my G60 in previous years.

My set-up:
928gts + RS2 + S8 (323x30mm, by Zimmermann, slotted) + Mintex Red

Any ideas?
