My car has the Shakes



Help:

I need some list wisdom regarding my E34 (95 540).  I recently did some
mods to the car namely suspension and brakes.  The car has 50K on the clock
and is in very good condition.

A little over a month ago (after it came off warrantee) the car got lowered
(Sachs springs and struts) from Bekkers and new ft brakes from KVR.  In
addition to fit the big brake kit a set of 17"Borbet type Ts from the Tire
Rack went on.

I now get a pretty good steering wheel shake with moderate brake pressure
(say stopping for a signal that just turned red).  With heavy pedal
pressure no shake.  KVR sent me a second set of rotors that were turned
(they are true) the problem got better but is still there.

The rotors are brembos and the application is 750il, the calipers are AP
racing 6 pot. It could be the brakes or possibly suspension related?  If
suspension what do I replace and with what parts (from what vendors).  Any
BTDTs or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Jeff
