Speaking of Brakes I lookin in to upgrading, their is a big brake upgrade at
fastvws.com, gives 11" rotors and slotted and cross-drilled w/ pads sound
good, anything else that would be a good idea let me know>

Depends on how bad the lip is and how much brake pad you have left....
there's a specification in
the Bentley on how much lip is too much. If your pads are worn enough it's
probably not a bad idea
to replace both rotors and pads. If you need good places to purchase those,
reply and I'm sure
you'll get a few responses for good deals.

Thanks for all the input.  Once I checked it did turn out tobe my brake
fluid being on the edge of minimum.
Once I filled it up the problem went away.   I don't know why I did not
think about the gas cap not being
on tight but that was it.
Since everyone was so good with the brakes I have another question for
you.  Someone I work with told me
I am going to need new roters soon because ther is a lip on the edge of my
roters.  Is this true?
