1. Your rotors are warped...get them cut (cheaper if they have the right machine) or get new ones.

2. Get some webspace. Upload them. Or FTP?

If you are driving a 3.2CL/TL check TSB 01-017 to cut rotors and replace front pads (under warranty)..

Scooter

also consider getting ss-brake lines as they aid very much in braking distance if u have to emergency brake or brake hard

but i only have 9000 miles on my car...got it august 2002......they r wrapped alrdy??

Interesting.. Can someone explain how does SS-brake lines help in breaking? I've always wondered about that. Thanks!

yep yep...they are!

yup...this is a common problem. I had mine resurfaced around 9,000 miles too. The dealeres shouldn't give you any problems.

If your car had the pads that TSB was created to fix, then yes, your rotors are warped due to those pads, and TSB 01-017 will cut the rotors and replace the front pads.

yup, mine went around 10K...dealer resurfaced rotors and then the went out again at 13K...they replaced the rotors and pads the second time around. Don't let them BS you into only resurfacing the rotors. The problem is in the pads (compound is too hard / abrassive), if they don't replace the pads too, you'll be back in few thousand miles.

Starter

You'll never notice on the street because you won't be braking hard enough or long enough to make a difference. But - the stock rubber brake hoses will expand slightly under the extremes of pressure and, more importantly, heat created by a number of hard stops in succession. This causes a "soft" pedal. The SS brake lines don't expand.

unless yer like me and have to brake hard from 130 to 60 in like 2 seconds to avoid going to jail, definitely worth the money

IS there a mileage limit on the TSB for the brakes? and How do you know if you qualify for that TSB since it is on certain production dates?

acura refused to replace mine via tsb, i am still fighting it
