Vibration from front disks (WAS: A4 questions)

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

If you still have UFO brakes on the car, you can't turn those rotors
(according to Audi).

There is a possible fix for the vibration though: take your car up to
about 80mph and then stand on the brakes. Do this a few times and then
drive around normally for 15-30min to let them cool down properly. That
might straighten them out. I haven't tried exactly that, but there was a
slight vibration from mine, before the track day at Bremerton, which is
now gone. YMMV.
