Breaking shakes
 
what could be the problem?

everytime im breaking, my car/steering wheel shakes. its more noticable when im breaking at a higher speed.

my friend told me that i need to resand my disc break, is that true? any advice would be good.

car is stock. tires are like 2-3 yrs old and theads are still good (cause i don't drive as much)

maybe not sanding
but having your rotors re-surfaced

warped
 
your rotors are probabl warped. torquing your wheel inappropriately sometimes leads to that. You may not want to waste your time machining them because in a couple of years the same ---- will happen cuz the rotors are getting thinner everytime your resurface them. Just buy new ones theyre pretty cheap for integras.

I'm having a similar problem on my DA. Turns out my caliper, passenger rear, is malfunctionning. Check calipers for leaks or non-operation and replace if necessary. Time to upgrade for me! If all's well in the caliper region, check rotor thickness and out-of-round and see if you are still in spec. If so machine. If not, replace. Get some new pads too. Usually you'll need pads and rotors. If you can flush your brake fluid.

LiLBlueBoy 05-22-2006 08:04 PM

do i need to flush my break lines in order to change my rotors?
i kno everytime you change the pad you need to flush the break (correct me if im wrong).

tdot2gteg 05-22-2006 08:18 PM

GSR_gino 05-23-2006 12:21 AM

crappy tire blanks - cheap and they do the job well.

LiLBlueBoy 05-27-2006 01:48 PM

what are opinion on those KVR rotors and pads?

what would any of you recommend to do? change the fronts only or change all 4 (rotors and pads)?

WildoutWhiteGSR 05-29-2006 12:21 AM

kvr pads are good

change all 4

its me.. mario 05-29-2006 08:30 AM

yup, what ^^ said.. generally u change all 4 at the same time. what i like to do is if i find some of the pads still have a good amount left (because of uneven brakes) i'll keep them around for spares.

RRRex 05-30-2006 09:07 AM

Carl at Trac Racing has good prices on Brembos. Shoot him an email and tell him you were refered by HADA. carl@tracracing.com
