My car pulses/shimmies while im braking. I took of the front and rear tires and found that the rotors are in great shape and i could not figure out why my car does this when im braking? Any suggestions on where or what else to look for? One more question.. Is there any pro's to switching my rear brakes from drum to disc brakes? thanks.

switching the brakes to rear discs will give you lots of pros like way better stopping power in the rear, better looks, less brake fade and they are lighter too. when i first started doing my conversion on my 95 i put lt1 discs with powerslot rotors and hawk pads over stock drum, front was still stock, the car stopped about 30% better at least.

Definately some good pros there! I would definately like a lighter rear with more stopping power thanks for answering the second question

had the same problem with mine it's those damn drums in the rear they warp rather quickly under a heavy foot. if you don;t have the $$$ for a disc swap then just replace the drums. and take it easy it's only a 6er lol
