    brakes

    well ive need new brakes for a while, my rear shoes are pretty low, and i believe the rotors in the front are warped because when i brake i get a pulsating through the pedal and steering wheel. I just have a few quetions. The light that comes on when the hand brake is up keeps coming on randomly when im driving, is this because its telling me i need new brakes? If i move the hand brake up a little and put it down it goes away, but i dunno if im just tricking it. 2nd, if my rotors are warped, should i get aftermarket rotors? How much are they more than regular ones and are they worth it? I like to stop quickly sometimes if im going real fast so i think it might be worth getting some brembo rotors but im not sure what to do.

    The light could be low fluid or a loose E-brake switch.

    OEM Toyota rotors are about $90 each.

    I need rotors as well at about 93k miles they were not turned during the brake job and they are now due for replacement.

    I dont have my rotors turned anymore I just run them until they warp to the point I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE and then replace them. I buy mid price 3rd party rotors and brake pads.
