[s-cars] brake shudder

[JC]

FWIW, I used to have the problem with a BIRA setup and HPS pads on a C5.  I
liked the feel of the Hawks but never the way they'd load up the rotor.

If it wasn't too bad usually the old high speed burn-off would do the trick
and -->YES I know<-- that can make it worse but for minor pulsing it usually
worked for me. Trick I was taught was doing it at very high speeds aka hard
brake from <redacted illegal speed> down to say 30mph or so, then you can
keep rolling, keep a lot of air going over the rotor, and don't leave the
pads sitting on the rotor while everything is red-hot. Hard braking to full
stop is usually guaranteed to make it worse. and If it's gotten too bad then
this doesn't work as I guess the glaze is too heavy or baked in...
