Another odd thing it does and maybe this is related to the bad shock is under light braking say slowing down for a light or stop sign the front end seems to sort of oscillate. Like it has this sort of back and forth rock to it.
The previous owner did put on new pads and disk up front but they were as cheap as you can get and unfortunately unlike in the states were you can get good cheap blanks these were just cheap. I will be replacing them with OEM or better soon so that might fix this issue as I might just have a slightly warped rotor
Last thing I did notice was the speedo is reading low by 5kph/3mph. Tire size is stock and the car itself is stock. Is this normal ? if not any fix beyond just drive faster 
TLDR Bought a 2014 gt86 that might have a blown shock and warped rotors |
Do you know if they changed out the struts? Some aftermarket suspension parts are very uncomfortable.
The probability of having warped rotors is very very remote even if cheap. OEM is the way to go.
