i just installed brand new rotors on the front of my 95 accord ex last week and on the way to work this morning it started to shake like crazy when i would brake... do any of u know why this is happening???

I have the same problem. So does Morgan. Less than a month after I installed my brembo blanks, they warped and started shaking when they would get hot. I hate it, and wish I knew the quick fix. I'm going to get better fluid. That might help. Its warping btw.

dust shield aka heat retainer removal?

no, sounds like someone didnt properly torque down/break in the rotor....

i agree with sohcvtc. i had my brembo blanks installed by a buddy of mine at his shop. i made sure that he had them torqued down at the right specs. ive had them for about 1 month no, and no problems at all. i can brake hard at any speed and no shaking.

yeah, i didnt torque mine down right i forsee a need for new rotors in the short future for me, but a problem is not only the warpage, but also uneven pad wear and glazing of the rotor and overall total crappy feeling

so its a question of break in, no wonder, damn things locked up on me the very night we installed it and was trying to break them in, oh well, ill use the sandpaper and a clear road with the carbotech instructions when the hawks die out

Thanks for the link to that very informative article!! I have just learned a lot. I am having problems with the "mushy pedal" and was concerned about my master cylinder, but maybe it's just air in the lines. I often brake very hard, so maybe the fluid is cooked. I have never changed the fluid since I got the car, anyway. So, I'm going to flush the brake system and add more fluid and bleed it out. Should help. Once again, thanks.
