Default for those of you who converted to rear disc....

What did you use to clean up the conversion prior to install? Motor is nearing completion, soI`m finally getting off my lazy *** and throwing them on.

the best thing to use brake cleaner. buy a few cans of that and there is no scrubbingg needed. the stream from the can is strong enough to remove all the grease and dirt.

Nothing. Conversion for me was for on-track and on-highway performance. Cleaning brakes seems kind of silly.
