Default 97 Civic EX vibration at 70 mph ?

Well... unfortunately for them you were right. They put 35 psi in the tires
(30 psi normal) and they messed up on the balance as well. So they balanced
them again and the problem went back to what it used to be (85 mph). But it
looks like the new rotors and pad are beginning to "set-in" because the
vibration is almost gone now after a week.

This guy I took the car to had one look at the tires and he said they were
over inflated. He said to go back to just tires and have them check the
balance again. So I did. The guys at Just tires didn't blink to do it again
(no change of course) So everything is fine now.

I still can not believe the dealer was blaming the Autozone rotors and break
pad !

Thanks to all for the help.
