Did you replace both rotors in front? Did you replace all 4 pads in front?

You should ALWAYS ALWAYS replace rotors and/or pads on both sides of either the front or rear whenever you do a brake job. Not necessarily both front and rear, but always both sides of whatever end of the car you're working on. And if you're replacing or resurfacing rotors, you have to install new pads because the old pads were worn to match the old rotors. An old pad on a new rotor is NOT good.

yea they are all new pads and rotor but why do my right side only smells like buring

did you lube up all the caliper slide pins w/ high-temp brake grease, and install the little rubber boots back over the slide pins properly when re-installing?

And you did replace BOTH front rotors?

i dunno, the piston could be siezed up in the bore or something. Might need to do a caliper rebuild, or just replace the caliper.

how long ago was this? If just recently and you can already tell the difference in pad thickness between one side and the other, then that one side w/ the thinner pads is most definitely siezed up.

*edit* wait nevermind you meant rotor face is showing use, yeah that means the caliper is not sliding properly, probably the piston siezed up or frozen in place. That's probably why the old rotor was so bad.

all non-ITR Integras from the same generation use the same brakes, at least on G3, should be the same for G2 also.

could it possibly be the brake proportioning valve?
