Default Car shakes when I hit brakes

When i go over about 45-50 in that area and touch my brakes my car and steering wheel shake very badly. We looked at them, and the pads are fine, any suggestions?

I have a 1990 accord if that helps...

rotors may be warped, tires unbalanced, or maybe alignment

Since he just bought the car, it's probably just some rust buildup from sitting on the lot. I'd take it somewhere that can turn the rotors on the car. (be alot cheaper than replacing them)

LOL sound like a deal to me. Should I just post all my bank information here? Should I do all my credit cards as well?

BTW sounds like warped rotors to me. I would just replace them because they aren't that expensive.

Could be either warped rotors OR uneven pad wear.

99% likely the rotors arent warped, its brake pad material thats on the surface of the rotor causing an uneven surface but the rotor itself is still good, look up how to clean it and get the material off to even it out

then I bought some brembo blanks and installed them for the hell of it when I replaced my axles...

Have the rotors resurfaced or replaced. It's a problem I have had on all my Hondas. The only permanent cure that I found is replacing the rotors with a better quality rotor, meaning nothing from Auto Zone or the like.

Yup yup, rotors are warp. If they're too thin, then don't even bother with getting them resurface because they may be out of spec with their maximum thickness. I say just get a good set of rotors but the 90-97 Accords have trapped rotors which isn't easy to do. GL.
