Default 244 rotors or calipers?? Both?

Hi all
Just bought a 82 244 with 112000 miles very sweet. The car was used on and off the road and primarily used as a second vehicle. When I brake hard I can feel pulsing in the pedal, and when I slow to 10 KM/H I feel grabbing then OK then grabbing which to me is rotors warped. But I have read about calipers giving problems after they sit for awhile. Thanks Mike

pulsating is likely to be caused by bad rotors

Rotors........... Front makes the steering wheel shake. Rear you feel the pedal moving.

My 95 Mustang has a shake when you use the brakes. I've got the optional 17 wheels from the factory. Think I'd be better off just changing rotors first, I think they are pretty cheap on this model.

Yes but do you feel it in the pedal or the steering wheel?

The steering wheel means the Fronts. I would do the fronts first and see how it is after that.
