Steering wheel shakes when braking. Looking to upgrade possibly, Ideas?
My Cx that I just picked up earlier this week shakes pretty bad when I start to brake. The harder I hit the brakes the more the steering wheel shakes. I am debating on upgrading the whole system or just replace everything with OEM (probably Si).
I don't want to dump to much $$ into this since I am not any kind of racer. I'll take it to the track every now and then, but I won't be auto-xing.
Should I just get an Si set-up or just get new rotors / brakes / lines?
Thanks for any input!

I experienced the same problem with my 95 EX. At first I thought it was the rotors but come to find out, the bearings were going bad. I say replace the bearings and upgrade to rear disks since the car is a 93(???). You will have new brakes and new bearings as well.

The bearings are located in the hub of the assembly so you still have to replace them. If you are getting the SI brakes, I think you will need to get the prop valve, master cylinder and brake booster.
My brother(Migs) and I did an ITR 5 lug swap off of my 92 SI to my 93 SI. The brakes are definetly better but the pedal goes to the floor. I need the RS brake booster and master cylinder as well. I'll have the stuff you need for sale(rear discs, master cylinder, and brake booster) in a few weeks if you can wait.
