Default brake question (steering wheel)

when my friends integra brakes are on his steering wheel shakes...we dont kno the problem cuz he changed the prop. valve from honda and he has crossdrilled and slotted in the rear and stocks in the front..and yes its been bleed..is it cuz his brakes are too hot??

my other question is wat kind of rotors should he get crossed-drilled, slotted, or both?..like which one would u recomend and which one has better cooling?wats the difference also??

I'd get smooth rotors... sounds like the disks are warped.

get a dial indicator and put it on your rotor, see what the runout is(warpage), mild rotor warpage equals pedal pulsation, major warpage equals everything shake, and do you mean the proportioning valve...?/...cause those rarely go bad, especially on hondas...cross drill and slotted rotors dont work, they just make it look good and wear out your pads faster, and cant resurface them although ill never recommend that...just find some oem that still has the coating on it, meaning it hasnt been resurface, stay away from the silver ones from your local auto part store that sells em for 25 bucks each too...want to upgrade to bigger rotors...find a good type r 5 lug conversion...
