Steering wheel vibration during braking?

Does anyone else experience this problem when they apply the brakes somewhat hard? Its become quite annoying and is something I wouldnt expect on a 30k dollar car.

This is one of acura's "Included" features.

All type-S acuras are going to start to shake after time. the stock brakes are off a Geo Metro.

it could also be that your wheels aren't balanced

You people and your fancy CL-S's. my first gen cl the steering wheel doesn't just vibrate, i gotta hold that shit so the car doesn't go all over the road! but it even happened after i got my wheels and new tires put on so it wasn't a balancing of tires issue.

Its BREMBO TIME or you could try getting the cad plated/slotted rotors with Porterfield pads and Motul fluid (this might help with fade and feel, not so sure about warping issue).

One of the worst features of our brakes is the way they rust the second some water gets on them. The rust gets mixed up in the pads and it takes about 10 miles to clear all of the garbage out.

The car could use some better rotors (no kidding)...

Anybody know where Kevin M has been?
