Re: Why do my brakes pulse again?
Many have already suggested improperly torqued lug nuts. My previous
98 Z28, a model which was infamous for warped rotors, developed the
dreaded pulsing brake pedal/warped rotor syndrome. But one time after
having the tires rotated it completely went away. And tire rotation
prior to that was done by a meticulous high performance shop who
always said they torque properly by hand, so I can only assume even
they made a mistake.

Talk about off set I once put a Dana 44 from a Dodge truck under a
CJ-3B, top left Jip: http://www.----------.com/trailer.jpg and just
reversed the rims to get tires back under the Jeep. Traded it for a new
'68 CJ-5, boy were they pissed when they figured it out, because a wide
rim swap was part of the deal.

Re: Why do my brakes pulse again?
wrong! not only are the stock (non-ss) z28 rims exactly the same, but
so were the ss zr1 style takeoffs i got from slp engineering.
