That’s not horrible. Maybe.

Good my friend. Hope you are all doing well.

First time driving Hellcat since new brakes/rotors as we have had rain.

I want to say the car feels smoother? Not sure if in my head?

Tomorrow is new PS4s and alignment.

I think he is the original owner.

And buying a multi-door, also slightly warped.

Maybe so...spoke with tech and he didn't say anything about it nor did I ask. Original brakes...yes.

Those that purchased their Hellcat new...did you all bedd in your brembo brakes and rotors...I didn't.

Meh. I don't really use my brakes, so no need to make them as effective as possible.

As I've discussed...I have had a slight vibration in the steering wheel at around 80 mph and sometimes it is intermittent based on road conditions.

Wonder if related to rotors somehow. After new PS4s and alignment I will go test.

I wonder...

I would think it’s more likely related to tire balancing.

Takes some miles for the pads to set in.

I absolutely did, and do on occasion since, even when I'm not changing rotors and/or pads every other week.

Driving "normally" will undo a good bedding...

The PS are great for dust, but the Brembos are superior for stopping. I was shocked at just how noticeable it was.
FWIW - I have a slightly used pair of Brembo pads off of my 2016 free to a good home. Just pay shipping.
