Hey everyone, hope u had a good thanksgiving!

I have a big problem with my brakes and I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice.

I have a 1999 Civic Ex Coupe and I replaced the front brakes w/ the AEM Big Brake Kit.

In the past two weeks or so, every time I step on the Brakes, my steering wheel shakes very bad and it feels like my cars all jacked up.

What do u guys think it is? Please give suggestions on how to fix it...

Thanks

 

goto an alignment shop that works on brakes.

 

does your car have abs?

 

Sounds like your rotors are "warped." Did you bed them in correctly? Give it a couple weeks and see if they "even" out.

 

I believe it does have abs.

amplifi3d--- It would probably help to go to an alignment shop
I have 18s on it and its lowered, but I never got an alignment.
its been like this for 2 years and no problems.... but now w/ the AEM kit

any of you guys have the AEM kit and having problems?

I actually had a shop install them for me... I got them put on about 1-2 months ago. I haven't had any problems, but now I do.... I also got the AEM brake pads and I noticed that they Squeek also! I'm pissed cause its suppose to be an upgrade, not a degrade to the car..

What should I do, just keep driving and see if they get better?

Thanks

 

A bad alignment won't cause vibrations under braking.

Take it to a reputable shop and have them look at the brakes.

And the squeaking is because the pads have better stopping power.
