this will be my first time changing the brakes for the rear on my ITR...Any suggestions to make my life easier?!?! I heard it was different than the front.

My set up for brakes would be: Power Slot Rotors:4, and axxiss metal masters:4
this I think would be good from my driving situation which is 75% street and 25% track.

If you have any other suggestions for pads and rotors to meet my driving style please let me know what you guys use and why..thanks! r-1303

 

doing the rear brakes are rather easy just take off the wheel and look, its plain as day, if you get snagged give us a pic and we should be able to help.

 

Thanks Bbasso...

thanks b2..thats what i needed

 

Slotted....

I pan to do the NSX caliper swap early next year with a nice set of rust proof rotors...damn rust!...makes me look bad!

 

Yeah no need for the slotted, right now Andie (cobalt) is selling OE spec quality rotors, they meet the same standards as Brembo and are about $10 cheaper too. Pick up a set of those instead of slotted, i am getting the Axxis pads as well, they seem like a good pad.

 

As for the NSX swap, it seems to be a very popular choice among tuners in Japan, nothing beats OEM quality.

 

that big snail in your engine is really taking it's toll on your car eh? hah

 

damn big snail! get me some salt!

 

daaam..keep hatin!! don't be jealous young one, pretty soon you'll have some speed.

 

yeah i'll have some speed, the RIGHT way

 

you need a special tool to turn in the piston on rear calipers if you are doing the rears...fyi

 

Or you can use needle nose plyers
