yeah as the folks already told you, we have gone through this topic years ago.

The main issue Germans (and Americans) have with the Alero are the weird pedal feeling - like a roll of dough
Which has way more and way more complex reasons than we as owners could really fix.
And the warping and shuddering brakes, which are mainly a reason of cheap production and material, which concerns almost every brake dics on the market today.

As I told you a few days back, some way of avoiding the disc warping is to make sure the disc is up to spec from the start, and then mount and fasten it the way DonC described it on the other forum - a bit lengthy to type here again - and doing a proper brake-in procedure which, again, is something most people totally don't do anymore.

As I also said, I never really had warping issues with my brakes (Wagner and Raybestos), but I had rust issues, due to the long periods of standing around outside.
