Default 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)

Default 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.

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)?

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.
