If it jerks AS you stop as opposed to WHILE you're stopped, it sounds like your rotors are very warped.

my TL did the same thing when downshifting to first while coming to a stop. Went away after they changed a busted tranny and motor mount.

I've had that happen to me in my previous car while braking. It was due to warped rotors. You should get them checked and replaced if thats the problem. Just my 2cents..

OK. Who makes Honda's pads? I bet all the pads have very simular processes.
