Default Breaking causes steering to tremble.

Every Honda Accord I own always end up having issues with the Rotors. Why is that?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am going to resurface my rotors again and this time I want to make sure that they last longer then 3-6 months.

This trembling when applying the brakes is killing me.

Should I use a certain pad? or something?

yeah, you should step off the break pedal while accelerating
or don't slam the break pedal to the floor when stopping
what break rotors and pads are you currently using?
and get them installed by a reputable mechanic doen't have them do it at the gas station service center

you should check your calipers. one could be hanging and causing premature wear. are both sides wearing even?

Definately check rub from your calipers. A little more info on your brake setup might be helpful.

why dont you just put new pads/rotors, instead of resurfacing. can be dbought cheap from autozone, installation is easy too.

proper bedding of the new pads and rotors is necessary.

if you do not break the pads and rotors in correctly they could either warp
or leave pad material on the rotors making the surface uneven.

which might cause shaking while you brake.
