Subject: Lancair 360 wheels and brakes

Hi gang,
 
A little while ago, I wrote and surmised that I had a nose gear shimmy problem. After taking two others flying, we have all come to the agreement that it is not a nose wheel shimmy - it has to do with the main wheels and the brakes. The shudder only occurs with braking, and is worse with harder brake application.
 
My Lancair 360 has the Matco's.
 
I'd like to hear what you guys think. My A&P/pilot friend thinks I should replace the brake rotors and see if that helps. (Anybody know the part numbers off hand?) That does seem to be a good idea. The airplane only has about 392 TT, and I am awaiting new tires and tubes from Aircraft Spruce (Nov deliv- backordered...).
 
Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.
