    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Hey guys. First and foremost, I apologize for 1) reviving an old thread and 2) for updating a year later, but that’s because I think my problem just got solved. Since my last reply, I honestly thought I might have to live and get used to the vibration and I kinda accepted it, but it still...

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Alright guys, I apologize for the late update, but I've been pretty busy this summer. With that said, I took it to a shop that I trust/feel would help me out (MPbuilt shop). They couldn't find anything wrong with the hub assembly, but concluded that it could be the axle that's slightly bent AND...

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Thanks for your input guys. I have a feeling it's the hub assembly. @Dar-Dar I'm gonna take it to a shop near me, maybe you've heard of MP Built? Either way, I'd be happy to take it to the shop you mentioned earlier for a second opinion. For now, I'm gonna have to deal with this issue until the...

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    @webby so I just got home, and switched on my stock rims to see if the problem is the same. While taking off the rims, I decided to run the car (on jack stands) to see if anything seemed out of the ordinary. The driver side rotor was wobbling a bit, but I thought it could be my imagination. When...

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Alright guys, so here's what I was told and SAW. The subframe isn't something to worry about according to the master mechanic. Apparently my rims are bent causing the vibration I was mentioning earlier; that, and because my tires are not flat when making contact to the roadway. My car was on the...

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Thanks for the responses guys. I did not have a torque wrench at my disposal for this job, but I figured I'm gonna go to a Honda services center where a friend of mine works. Maybe then, I'll see what's going on. Will update later on.

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Please note that the last photo is in the front passenger side. The black piece, with what looks like 2 connection holes protruding out, is the subframe. The shiny metal area is the base of the engine I believe.

    Significant vibration after changing brakes

    Hey guys, I know the thread says "brakes" in it, but there's other things I need to point out, so that's why I thought I place this problem here. Yesterday I went to a good friend of mine to help me change the front brakes (rotors and pads only). It was a pain, but we managed to get it done. We...

    Car key battery life

    Hey @webby how do I open the key itself? Do I just pry it open with a razor blade or flathead screw driver? Thanks in advance for the replies!

    Car key battery life

    Hey guys, it's been way too long since I've been on, and I do apologize I'm not an active member. I wish I had the money in the world to do all the mods I'd like, but life doesn't make it that easy :/. Anyway, as the topic says, I have concerns/questions about the battery for the car key...

    Wheel Fitment Charts!

    Hey man. I love my wheels heh, I could of actually gone with 9.5" width now that I look back at these. I have not had one issue at all for hitting suspension components, but I am rubbing the front fenders a little on dips, but that's because I have like 2+ inch drop (on k-tuned coilovers). For...

    Bulb Sizes - Lamp Replacement Guide

    Hey guys, am sorry to bring back a dead thread, but I was just wondering. I'm interested in getting an LED light output for my headlights and fog lights (since they last longer than HID). It's probably on here, but I guess I missed it, but could someone please explain to me if I need to get a...

    Photos Rims/Wheels on your 9th Gen Civic: Show me some pics!

    Thanks a lot @Nix I really appreciate the advice, and will try to bend those tabs. And if that doesn't help, the bolts sound like a good investment.

    Photos Rims/Wheels on your 9th Gen Civic: Show me some pics!

    Thanks man, here's a pic of my specs (done today). Honestly, I am highly considering rolling because I do rub on the littlest of dips, it's not annoying, but I'm concerned if the fender and the tire will get damaged. Mind you the rubbing occurs in the front. Otherwise I could just cut the fender...
