Well front brake pads need to be replaced on my Teg. When i inspected it, the driver side rotor, it is starting to grove a little bit, passenger side is fine(Rotors are cross drilled).

What should I do. Already bought EBC red stuff . Would the red stuff smoothen it out, or will the grooving continue.

O yeah the passenger side have a lot less material left that the driver side. Am guessing the caliper sliders needs some maintainence.

 

putting new pads on will not fix your rotors. And you can't get drill rotors machined that i'm aware of.

for the slides, all you have to do is lube them up and make sure they are sliding well. your piston could also be seized and pushing the pad into the rotor.

 

Yeah, you can't machine cross drilled rotors. The pads were a long shot also
I figgure the sliders are seized, because the calipers are only 2 years old(new, not rebuilt).

I guess am gonna go with a pair of these:

why buy drilled and/or slotted anyway? (do not say because of pad gases, etc)

buy a good quality std blank rotor and you'll be fine. also save yourself some $$$

 

I would go on ebay and buy some new ones.

 

If I were you, I wouldnt even worry about getting an expensive rotor...
I know I used to try to worry about all that, and wasted a lot of money on them all... Rotors are going to mess up, thats just the way it is.. heat gets to them.
Now Im just running Axxis Ultimate brake pads, with cheapy autozone rotors and thats what id recommend to you...
I really dont notice anything different in braking power.. if you want that, think about the legend/nsx brake swap or something.

 

your brakes are a crucial part of the driving experience – and any degradation in braking power means you’re in danger of losing control. ...with your ebc redstuff you’ll be able to get incredible performance from your brakes, its guaranteed..it has a 42-foot improvement in braking distance at high speeds in quality testing. :-)

You may also try the EBC Greenstuff. They are made for heavy street driving and formulated with low dust formula. Try to have one to evaluate it yourself...

i agree with this, im not really sure why people buy those drilled and slotted rotors anymore, i guess they like changing pads more often

 

crossed drilled rotors for a DD

Cross drilled rotors period

Brakes are only a small component of stopping distance. For most modern cars, a single high-speed stop will not result in brake fade. Therefore, tires and suspension are the most critical components for a shorter stopping distance. Better brakes mean that you can repeatedly stop from high speed without the risk of brake fade.

Blank rotors are best for a DD.

Even better. Cross drilled for Integras = form. No function here.

 

I changed the Brakes before on my 89 acura integra..The rears were a real work out..Got em done though..

 

Ummm k. ^^^

 

what i THING is that you should go and machine the rotors..find a place that can resurface the warped rotors..

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS RESURFACE THE ROTORS WHEN INSTALLING NEW BRAKE PADS

 

You can't resurface machined crossdrilled rotors!

Rotors do not commonly warp. Read this:

yes you can...i used to have crossdrilled...the machine they use to resurface, you have to do it slower than normal...I've done it before

 

Guys the rotors arent warped, they are just starting to grove a little bit. Its not a daily driver. Most likey I will be goin back with Cross Drilled.

Only had the car for a few weeks. Just put rims on it on the weekend, and saw that the back has crossed drilled on the back too ( previous owner didnt mentioned that). It would make sense to put back cross drilled in the front.

Also, for the few that dont think cross drilled makes a difference. It makes a HUGE difference

it's all in your mind dude, just keep thinking that

just like my friend, he deleted the air conditioning and got a carbon fiber hood and thought he was alot quicker because of the weight reduction

I guess it's preference, and the quality

Make a new tread it you want to make a big deal out of this. Some people get so worked up on Forums. LOL

 

It's not preference, it's FACT. Read the thread that was posted.
