If I was over at VB often I would look into that. But I can't remember the last time I was there, probably Warped Tour. But I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks.

I have a feeling it's not the balancing issue, unless the balancing changed often. At times, I won't be braking hardcore and the car shakes like no other, and other times I can brake and it'll almost feel completely normal. I'm going to check the rotors since they are pretty old. One thing that is strange is sometimes when I first start my car and start to accelerate, I can hear a higher pitched moaning noise like the brakes aren't fully let off and their touching the rotors.
