Are my rotors toast?
Here are some pics of my front rotors after coming down from a mountain resort last night.
Under heavy breaking the steering and brake peddle vibrates quite a bit!
Looks like its burn.
could this be due to the shitty brake pads i'm using? Endless VN9500.
Since i have used this pad i had to re-surface the rotor twice coz it would groove the rotors quite badly. all in the course of 20,000km.

Not sure where you are located, however new rotors can be very cheap to replace. Also, if you think your pads are worthless, then replace them also. The pics are not really detailed so I cannot see the surface of the rotor.

99% chance your brake pads left uneven deposits on your rotors. With race pads and sometimes street pads, this can be from not breaking them in properly.
Get the cheapest blank rotors you can find, and get some nice brake pads. Cobalt makes some nice products for street, track, and "both". If you're hard on brakes, Carbotech XP8 is another track pad that is mostly streetable.

I would have gone with a set of new Dixcel rotors if i had the cash right now (which i dont) so i'm stuck trying to find a used pair.
New 5-lug patern rotors (Stock CTR or ITR) cant be bought here in Malaysia coz officially Honda of Malaysia doesnt import them.
I would have to go after market which is expensive.
I drove the car to work today and no vibration, maybe i didnt go over 60km/h in work our traffic.
But i do feel that it has less bite and it feels like i have to step further down for teh brake pedal to get it to stop even in slow speeds.
