i have a 96 accord lx with 17" Konig rims and stock brakes. I dont have the cash for the brembo big kit. I need to know if there was any way to make my rotors not pulse as much. The caliper bridge is not sticking and the brakes are new any suggestions?

 

You might have warped rotors. Get some Advanced Auto Parts replacements, with some new pads.

 

I have already done that and the new rotors worked good for about 3 weeks and then started to warp again. could it be the size of the tires and should i get slotted rotors? thanks for the infothough

 

The problem is probably NOT warped rotors, but rather, uneven deposits of brake pad material on the surface of the rotors. You can avoid this problem by "bedding" your pads any time you replace your rotors or change to new pads of a different type from the old pads. If it is already occurring, you can sometimes correct it by bedding the pads. The purpose of bedding pads is to leave a uniform layer of pad material on the rotor surface. You do it through a series of progressively more severe stops, getting the pads hotter and hotter, and then parking the car for half a day or overnight, so the brakes can cool down completely. Do this on a road with no traffic, and don't touch the brakes on the way home after you go through the procedure (or you could wear off that layer you've just left).

You can read more about this phenomenon on the Stoptech website:

No and no.

 

thank you very much i will try that and get back to you Good advice!!!!!!!

 

did you break in your brakes? ... dont ride them or make abrupt stops because thats how rotors warp and pads get glazed ... i have a 01 accord with 18" zenetti mytics ... they way a ton and some ... and ive never had any problems

 

i did break them in but my wife might not have. She thinks it is a racer and just dont care

 

lol new brakes and rotors dont mean crap. all it takes is good abuse of ur brakes and a cold night or driving throu a puddle. instant cooling off, there it goes.

 

actually it does matter ... plz prove me wrong =]
