Civic brake problems......maybe?
After getting my 17s off, i have replaced the lower ball joints in the fornt and have had an alignment onece and a follow up b/c my steering wheel would vibrate like crazy, well the car too. They said i needed new brake rotors b/c they had an uneven texture to them, warped i guess is the word, this is on both sides of the rotors. My question is if the rotors need to be repleced would this be causing that vibration? If so i got my self a set of brembo rotors and axxis pads on the way, lol

if the rotors are warped it will cause vibration also if your brake pads are overly worn down to the metal it will cause vibration.
edit: they have to be really fucked up to vibrate while driving and not braking

yes.. wraped rotors would cause your steering wheel to vibrate..
if your car vibrates could be unbalanced wheels too.

It would definately cause vibration upon deceleration, but straight line movement shouldn't be too effected. 17's aren't the easiest to balance, especially if they have no outer lip for weights.

Well when i decelerate it vibrates worse, but when normal driving it also vibrates, more so at high speeds 60-80. I am not riding on my 17s anymore, i have Optional Equipment Honda wheels and nitto tires. For those who dont know my BUDDY CLUB P1 17s W/YOKOHAMA AVS ES 100s are for sale ONLY 700.00
