Default All new brake parts...brake pedal still vibrates

I now have all new rotors and pads up front and drums and shoes out back, but I still get a brake pedal vibration. I'm thinking it could possibly be my wheels out of balance, but they don't vibrate at highway speeds. Any recommendations on what else to check?? BTW, car is a 91 Civic hb.

It could be the rotors, warped...fairly common in Honda built cars. Did you install the correct rotors?? or are they OEM (non-Honda). The warped rotor issue is common in some Acuras as the heat warps the rotors that cause excessive steering wheel vibration.

My 2 cents.

well, obviously its not the rotors, if you read the post, it said he got new ones. i would take it to a tire shop, and have your tires balanced.

good luck

Thanks for the replies. I'll have the tires checked and report back. BTW, they're brand new Brembo rotors.

Rotate the hub/rotor and watch the gap between the rotor and pad.
