Acura Integra 1992, Mileage: 173,000.
I bought front pads and rotors from Autozone last year, and installed them myself. After almost a year, the problem appeared again, that is when I press the brake pedal at 45 - 60 MPH, the steering wheel is shaking a little bit. I had a set of new tires installed last year, alignment was done at that time. I suspect the brake pads and rotors are not high-quality. I am thinking to try good quality of pads and rotors this time. My questions: 1. Is my suspection reasonable? 2. Are OEM parts better? 3. What about some pro parts that are more expensive? 4. What brand you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Zone rotors and pads are made in China and are good as what you pay. Good Honda rotors from NAPA are about $60.00 and are made in canada. Honda rotors are about $100.00.
