Need BRAKE opinion on something from 6sp tsx owners
So I recently replaced my front rotors and brake pads in the front and in the rear. However I did "NOT" change the rear rotors. Today I replaced the break fluid and my car shutters when I completely slam on my breaks at the very end my car shakes violently. I tried it at 35mph and 10mph. My friend says it could be the rear rotors Faaawk I just kinda want to know that its just the tires locking up really hard.
Maybe I'll post a video or something

yeah I'm also thinking the rotors aren't true it just burns my ass that I have to take them off again and send them to a shop gahh.
It took me an hour to get those rotor screws out just the front. I had to use a vice grip and screwdriver combo, also my amazing luck made it so that only the very last screw stripped so I had to go to walmart at 2am to buy one of those tap kits.

On the bright side, if it was only a few thousand miles or less, those rotor screws shouldn't be rusted in this time (yet). For what its worth, you CAN install a rotor without the screws, no problem at all. Many of us have said goodbye to that aggravation and just not installed the screw and nobody to my knowledge has had a problem at all -- the wheel holds the rotor in place once its on anyhow.
I'd replace the rear rotors, they aren't expensive, and you can DIY quite easily. Peace of mind. If the car still vibrates, then look at bedding in the pads properly (search for the how-to).

shudders just because you changed the brake fluid? Ionno, it just sounds like ABS is kicking in...
If there was a slight hill or a bump and you slam the brakes, or if you're turning and slam the brakes, the ABS will kick in and it will definitely cause the car to shudder and shake quickly. It'll also sound like grinding. I hope it's not your new brakes..! goodluck!
