My steering wheel vibrates violently when I step on the brakes. Anyone knows what may be causing this? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

i would just go with new rotors because at work i have done a few cars with similar problems and we cant resurface the rotors .... 1. they are really warped and will require too many cuts 2. they are near the discard limit

unless the rotors have been resurfaced a couple times previously, he shouldnt have any problems at all resurfacing them. the worst warpage ive ever seen took only 3 cuts, at .002", which is only .006" total cutting. most manufacturers set pretty lenient specs for the rotors too. Acura and Honda specs are always around .020", so you could theoretically cut horribly warped rotors about 3 times and be within service limits. cutting the rotors will save money too
