I forgot to mention that I installed the ITR header, the blox test pipe, and a new resonator. Just need a new vtec solenoid :roll:

I installed a new rotor on the drivers side and it stopped the grinding noise, now it makes a sort of "spotty" noise whenever I brake. I noticed that whenever I spin the rotor by hand, it doesn't spin straight. It wobbles, maybe it wobbles to far too the sides and hits the retainer clips?

It stops making that noise when I squeeze the brake harder

Edit: The drivers side doesn't make ant noise and it does the same shit, maybe my ride height is crooked? :lol:

Are you tightening your lug nuts like a moron causing your rotors to warp?

If the rotor is wobbling it isn't seated correctly. Take it off and take a steel brush/sand paper to the hub. Sometimes hubs get rusty and cause debris buildup that will cause that.

This would make the most sense, I'll do that and see if it helps.

Brushed the hub and it still wobbled a little. Tighten down the rotor with the lug nuts to hold it in place while I reinstalled the bracket. I made sure the retainer clips didn't get in the way of the rotor. When installing the rear rotors, I noticed that the drivers side caliper piston boot was torn so I decided to buy a new one. After driving it, It brakes much better and there is no noises that I shouldn't hear :lol:

I'm going to spray paint my valve cover. Is a steel brush too rough for it to remove any debris and/or old paint? Anything else I need to buy?
