driving on warped rotors

Hey everyone..

I know i need to replace my rotors but still waiting for some funds to come across. How much damage can driving on warped rotors cause? I definetly feel the vibration when stepping on my brakes but now when i drive I can feel like a vibration from the pedals during acceleration. It would also seem that my wheel is loose but it isnt.

And since on this topic...where can I get some good rotors for decent price...looking for cross drilled or slotted...front and back...with pad replacement too.

Thanks

It should be okay, your gonna need to replace the pads along with the rotors, as you already know...

How many miles do you have? your dealer should replace them for free....hopefully.

Don't know if bad rotors will damage anything.

I ordered these, Rotora:

$302 for front and rear shipped. Using Acura pads, about $90 front and rear.

I just ordered the same but with the Axxis pads front & rear. Like $415 I think it was.
My rotors were just cut for the 2nd time & they are still warped. I'm just replacing everything.

Check with the dealer first. They did mine for free and replaced the pads (front). I just took it in and said " When braking from 60 my steering wheel shakes, don't know if it's the rotors or what, is this a common problem"
