I'd suggest pulling off the front tires and checking your brake pads....seriously. They have a thin metal tab on them designed to ride against the rotor when the brake pads wear. This is how you know it's getting close to time to replace your pads. That would be the first thing i checked. Keep in mind that it may look like you have 1/8 inch of material left on your pads, however their are a lot of pads that are riveted on and those rivets usually stick up about 1/16 inch or so. When your pads wear to the point that they are flush with the rivets then you start damaging rotors. The pads will run you somewhere from about 20 to 40 bucks. Start with that and let us know what ya find.
