Hi - I was having a similar problem with my '92 Accord LX
(175,000 mi). The brakes kept giving too much (excessive travel)
and slipping quite a bit despite a new master cylinder, a check
for leaks in the lines, new pads, new shoes, machining of
rotors and drums, and even new tires (Michelin HydroEdge).
Obviously the lines were bled as well with the new master.
Finally I checked the rotors and found the thickness to be
21.5 mm, just over minimum spec. I bought an after market
pair and had the dealership install them. They had to use
extra care due to the bearings (which I didn't replace), but
these were apparently transitioned over to the new rotors
without incident. Bottom line: my brake problem is fixed!
No more slipping and no more give. A new set of plugs to
round things off added the feel of an extra 20 or 30 hp, and
now I'm ready for another 175,000 miles. - Paul
