Uneven brake rotor wear - TSB?

I found a ways back there some sort of TSB for the '05 TSX saying the stock pads unevenly wore down the rotors. Well, my car has the shimmy in the steering wheel from this issue and I can't find the bulletin now. I'd like to take it with me to the dealer.

Anyone know where this is?

thanks
Tim

You have warped rotors. Just do yourself a favor and get some aftermarket brakes. I got Brembo blanks and EBC Green stuff for $330, and Acura installed them for $250.

That's probably the right choice. I'm hard on my brakes so an upgrade from stock is probably a good idea.

edit:: Do you think it's ok to leave the stock rear rotors?

Thanks

I'm not sure, but I would upgrade them anyway.
