Also, looks like the fluid and filter change did not help my transmission slipping. Looks like I will need a new one or have it rebuilt soon.

remove all the wheel weights and sticker residue and get them road force balanced

I have vibration from 110-120 km/hr and it goes away after balancing

but comes back after a track day and stays until rebalancing

I did get them balanced again at Discount Tire, but I am not sure if they were road force balanced. I need to check and if they weren't, that is something else I can try.

when I got my wheels balanced normally I have a hop/vibration

when I get them road force balanced they are perfect

20 inch wheel setup is very sensitive to imbalances

Here's a picture of the rotor that shows the abnormal wear that lead my mechanic to think it could either be an uneven rotor or a sticking caliper.

The wear is not present on the entire rotor, just a section (about 1/3).
