Default Odd brake feel on a 95 hatch.

I have a 95 cx and when I slow for a red light or a stop, my car slowly pulses as it comes to a stop. I feel nothing odd in the pedal or the steering wheel. I recently replaced the rotors (7K ago). A friend's Del Sol does the same thing. Anyone know what is wrong or at least having the same problem? Thanks.

Sounds like ABS kicking in, but I don't think the CX's ever came with ABS. Did you check the pads/drums for uneven wear?

I know I don't have ABS. And the pads and rotors are wearing normally. It doesn't seem to get any better or worse when they heat up.

dur, your discs are warped. Mine does it too. It's because the front brakes are doing most of the work and they are too small. At least i think so.

did you guys screw in the rotor-retaining-screws completely?

if not, they may have your wheel a bit off.

or you may have to remove th rotors and clean the mating surface on th ehub to get them square to the hub.

otherwise, I dunno.
