vibration at highway speeds
last weekend i changed the front pads and rotors with brembo rotors and oem pads purchased from fcpgroton. the braking seems fine, but i now have vibration at highway speeds.
no clue what the cause could be, unless it was something unrelated like losing a wheel weight. the one thing i noticed was that there was a decent amount of wiggle room between the holes on the rotors and the holes in the hub. i also snapped one of the guiding pins (or whatever it's called) on the passenger side when i was trying to tighted it.
i should have also added that i had my summer tires mounted to wheels and put on a few weeks ago. everything also looked fine as far as cv boots and suspension when i had it jacked up.

from research i've done, i'm pretty sure that it's the excess space in the center of the rotor that's throwing things off balance.
not sure whether i got sent the wrong rotors or why the hell i'd have a rotor that doesn't fit snug.

i finally got around to taking the brakes apart and it turned out to have nothing to do with the brakes. i was missing one of the hub centric rings.
so now i have to replace the ring. does anyone know what size i would need? i'm running borbet type h wheels.
