Default 5 lug brakes problem

i put a ITR 5 lug on my 98 hatch and the brakes aren't sqeeking, but when i start to brake, the steering wheel shakes and the car comes to a rough stop, like an airplane landing.

any idea whats the problem and how much it'll take to fix?.. my guess is that its the rotors, but i dunno?! My cousins five lug brakes feels much more stronger than mines. Plz help, thx ht!

Are all of your lug nuts properly torqued? Wheels have no play?

If so, have your current rotors turned on a brake lathe, or buy all new rotors. Re-bed the brake pads accordingly.

Upgrade your master cylinder to an Integra 1". You'll feel a difference.
