Front Brake Discs

[Mistermark]

hey,
i have a 93 DX hb
when i brake at anywhere above 120km/h
the brakes vibrate but below 100km/h-ish their fine
could they be suffering from a lil warp on the disc?
thanks

That'll be my guess too.

mine do it too, im actually thinking it can be a couple of things. cuz when my rotors were warped in my other car the pedal acutally vibrated a bit.
three things i think it can be.
1-rotors warped
2-wheels need to be re-balanced cuz of wear
3-need a front end alignment

joe hit it right on the nose man. try getting the alighnment and/ or the rebalanceing the wheels those will be the cheapest to do. if it dosnt work buy new rotors and pads.

not that i know much about these things but on the acura my parents had when you brake going a certain speed of say over 60mph..the pedal and wheel did more than vibrate they pulsate like real bad. and no matter how many times we took it in for alignment and tuneups and things like that it was never fixed...so i would say it is a rotor problem.

got to your local shop and have them reface the rotors.. most auto repair places have the machine

Hrm... My alignment at the honda dealer (which was for whatever reason cheaper than Hires...) was 114, replacing my pads and rotors cost me 90 total. 70 for the pads/rotors, 20 for the beer payoff to my friends for helping me.

hmm....dont know what kinda parts u used but for mine just the rotors for the front are over 100bucks, then like 40 for good pads, then ss lines are another like 120

thanks, i can reface my rotors, within spec. obviously, with my friends brake lathe machine. and i can check and re do the balance on my wheels on his machine aswell. the only thing thatll cost me money is if it needs an alignment
