Warped!!!

What could be the cause of vibrations when I step on the brakes at very high speeds(>70mph). I also get this rough feeling when I step on the brakes in the mornings. This roughness goes away after some driving. I am using OEM pads and not Original Honda ones. Could this be the problem? Or are my rotors warped?

maybe it means he bought some oem pads to replace the original pads that came with the car.

Okay here's what I mean. . . The stockist has OEM brake pads made by God knows who and Original Honda pads. He claims they are all made by the same company and slapped with a Honda label. The price for the Honda ones are almost double that of the ones I bought. That's why I settled for them.

yea your rotors sound like there bent. follow these simple instructions to see:

1)take them off and use them as frisbees.
2)put them in water and see if they float
3)use them as coasters for your favorite beverages


if you like them as any of these, then your know your answer
