usdm-honda-r18

clean are you putting coils on???

robpp

Will drop in the spring!

robpp

Any problems with paint sticking to the grill?

shogun86

Looks good. What suspension do you plan on using?

robpp

the grill is plastic. with proper prep you can make it stick like oem.

something mild. i live in colorado. we can have snow 10 months a year. the roads suck for the most part.

i may just use the tein H springs and bilsteins for the dampers.

nice...

i did this install in 40 degrees in my dark garage so dont bitch too much about the pics.

also I have only done the fronts so far as it snowed the other day too. and they have not been bedded just yet

I wanted rotors that were completely coated to avoid the rust stripe. I also got dimpled vs. drilled to avoid any cracking.

the pads are posiquiet ceramic direct replacement for LESS DUST.

so I went with adam's rotors. and here is some pics of the fronts.

side by side oem vs adams



ohhhhh ahhhhh



teaser behind my 19s



passenger side

robpp

here is a rear......

robpp

ok so i snuck out this morning for a set of bed in runs. they recommend (10) 60-10-60 stops then a cool down run. they recommend 2 of these.

I did the first 10. i never did that many before but I followed the instructions.

the front look good on the pad surface....mostl;y clean.....the rear look like they need another set...you can see some white looks like pad material. its supposed to snow starting about dusk through tomorrow so the next 10 will have to wait.

cant tell you any improvement in braking yet.......but I do have that slow speed chatter that is common with these types of rotors. i think the dimples cause the noise/

You didn't answer the question...

robpp

no i didn't/

robpp

Its a long story so I wont bore you here but

Big Props to Adams Rotors for taking care of me :thumbsup:

these double slot rotors are as quiet as OEM....I do not know they are on except when its important.

I also have the StopTech replacement pads THey are ceramic pads like the OEM ones and I would expect the same wear.

I cant wait to get my SUMMER WHEELS ON!



OK OK some pics :toocool:

I followed adams bedding procedures to the T. I went to an induistrial area on the weekend where no traffic, did my 10 60-10-60 stops and this road is right near a highway entrance so i did the stops and hit the highway 75 MPH for like 15 miles so they get a good cooling off.

here some pics after the bedding





pedal feel is the same in regular driving.....but the bite is there when I need it. I started commuting through downtown to a new gig and had to use these twice already/



i want to now clean them all up and paint my calipers black and get the SS brake lines to increase the pedal feel.
