[s-cars] Faint Thump Noise!

[lee at wheelman.com]

Do you feel it in the steering wheel or the pedal?

My S6 used to have a progressively worse thump, turning into a 
shudder on long braking (like on an offramp from a highway). 
Nothing noted around town.

On my car, it was brake pad deposits building up on the rotors, 
and a fresh set of System 3 rotors, Porsche calipers and pads did 
the trick.

Seriously, if it's coming from the *front*, it's a common problem. 
I'd call it a design defect.
