While stopping or when you are resting on the brake already at full stop?

I noticed a little pulsation while braking, but not once I had stopped. Now that the car has 4k miles on it, I don't notice it anymore. I am going in for 5k maintenance and will have them check that out. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Speaking of brakes

I went too fast before this hidden dip, then slope combo in the street..
The car was completely in the air for at least 1 second
and then slammed back down, no body contact, just the shocks whamming down,..

I have noticed a crappy crreee creee creee noise as I go slowly, 10-19 mph, and...
when coming down the crest at decent speed on a hard right turn the back wheels shudderd shudder shudder..
du drd r dr dr dr dr dr like that....
Unbdoubtedly probably products of my undesired air time..
A older woman in a bmw station wagon came to me after the light and exclaimed
" your Car! It was completely off the ground!!!"

I had the car lifted to get an exhaust installed and there was no visible damage,,.. but obviously something is something

ANy comments any one!>?
Or i guess a testament to the fact the b6 is not a rally car, and is in my opinion somewhat brittle...
