i have a 92 acura integra with just intake headers and exhaust and after i rev high like on the freeway or whatever and then start to brake my brakes or something up front just starts shakin. u guys know what it is?

thanks

 

If it only does it when you're braking, I would think it is warped rotors. When was the last time you changed your brakes?

 

i have the aem big brakes and i put them on like 1 year ago

 

i'd guess warped rotors, too.

 

"i'd guess warped rotors, too."

ditto......

 

yep,that warped rotors . i had the same problem.

 

Warped!!!

 

i hear bad things about the AEM big brkae kits. are they any good??? any problems?? thanks for the input

 

Ey man, i've got a 98 w/ stock breaks and DAMN that **** happens to me all the time. Goin real fast and then havin to break hard...the steering wheel shakes like it's havin a seisure. It's insane and not really that safe. I'm definitely considering getting some new rotors. How's the big break kit? (i know it was already asked)

 

godamn that happened to me all the ******* time in my old car, i'm SO glad that doesn't happen to me nemore.

 

make sure you torque your lug nuts to factory spec, 80 ft/lbs for the integra i believe, otherwise, you can warp them easily if one side is torque like hell, and the other is not.

 

I'd guess warped rotors assuming your wheels are balanced, suspension components and alignment are good, wheels aren't bent, etc... I had the same problem where when I'd press on my brakes the steering wheel would go back and forth (left and right) and the car kinda shook... I replaced my warped rotors (stock) w/ Brembo blanks and had them for about a year w/o any problems..

make sure you torque your lug nuts evenly..and don't let the tire guys/mechanics use the air gun and torque the hell out of them.... also after a hard drive/hard braking session.. don't let the car sit in traffic or park right away.if your stuck in traffic.. try to inch up every not and then and not let the hot brakes sit clamped on one spot. let them cool down because the part the caliper and pads sits over retains heat longer than the other parts and that can cause warpage... also don't wash your car after driving it.. the cold water/temp differences /rapid cooling.. can warp the rotors also...

 

rotors! I went through it 4 months ago..

 

Read this. It's a very good, informative article.

more tha likely its warped rotor or rotors check if the bolts the rims and brake rotors are snuged tight.

 

I just noticed the same symptom on my car recently...I would have guessed it was the alignment before the rotors, because my car pulls to one side when I brake (while it's vibrating).

 

I had that same thing with my teg before, but i didn't upgrade it, I just brought it to a local shop and he reshaved the rotor, now I have smooth stops

 

take them off, get them turned, u should be fine. Have non of you heard of turning a rotor or you just replace them every time you do a brake job LOL!?
