if your looking to save some cash do what i did...

go to kragen or local auto parts store and buy some raybestos pads for $30 and some rotors for $15 each and for $60 you got new brakes

although not the best for performance but it will stop you... eventually

I would go with brembo blanks, or oem, and get some good pads, Aem, hawk, exc... Get what ever pad you like best. Ryan

PS, it will be still cheap. I got my aem pads at the dealer for $34.00

Get your rotors from autozone. They sell brmbo blanks there as oem, plus they have a lifetime warenty. As for pads, I would go with Axis metalmasters.

not to steal your post, but does anyone know what else could possibly cause this problem? I got new rotors / pads, alignment, tires are balanced... sorta running outta ideas, anyone know?

I've had powerslots, trust me they are CRAP and will warp out in no time. Just get Brembo blanks with a nice ceramic compound pad. Be sure to bed them in nicely at first till they are seated. And for the other kid's question it's most likely a worn rack causing the shaking. Before that though try replacing the inner rod ends.

wheel bearings, or your steering rack could be loose.

hey man take my advice and go to the junkyard...look for an integra and get the rear disk conversion because i changed the shoes on my rear brakes today and it was definatley the worst thing ive done my whole entire life.....so definatley search in a junkyard and get the integra disks put them on with new pads and you should be rolling because changing your brakes even once a year ....is seriousley the worst thing ever!!!!! trust me the inside of your drums have like 4 to 5 springs and its like a puzzle that you cant ever put together it took me and my friends 4 hours to do today.......disks all the way...ask anyone who has changed thier rear brakes themselves and they will tell you

My rear drumb pads were fairly easy to change. Dont bother with the rear coverrsion. My 2 cents. Ryan
