Bad Calipers??
So I purchased a used TSX a few years back and put about 30k miles in 2 years or so. Great car and pretty problem free except for one problem ... the brakes and rotors.
I have resurface the front rotors two times and replace them 1 times.
1.) Resurface front OEM rotors with new Raybestos Ceramic Pads
2.) Resurface front OEM rotors and reused Raybestos Ceramic Pads
3.) Replaced front rotors with Brembos Blanks and OEM brake pads (starting to warp after 3k miles, can feel light vibration at braking at high speed).
Yes the wheels were torque to 80lbs. Took it to a mechanic shop and they suggested changing out the front two calipers, they may be sticking or dragging on the pads/rotors, causing it to warp. Should I ???

There are tons of threads on this. I would suggest you you purchase a high-quality pad that has a more aggressive formulation. Braking vibration is almost always attributed with crap pads depositing on the rotors. Buy a set of RacingBrake ET300 or ET500 and a new set of rotors. I don't think you should have any issues after that. I am using that setup and don't expect to ever feel the shake. It's pretty hard to tell if your calipers are dragging but I'd start with the least expensive option (pads/rotors) and go from there.
