Hey guys I just picked up my GSR rear disks from Russ (I dont know what is screen name is but he is on here too ) anyway I have :

1. Whole rear assembly -abs
2. Master cylinder
3. Ebrake cables and handle
4. Big black thingy that is on the fire wall (I know flame me for not knoing the name)
5. Perportioning valve

Is there anything I need to look out for when doing the swap any place people got stuck ? or didnt realise you needed to do ? also after I put the pics up are the rotors salvageable they are pritty rusty I am hoping I can get them turned but I dont know they look pritty bad.......

Any info would be great thanks !!!

No, the changeover is pretty straight forward, you remove one thing and replace it with another. Probably the biggest pain is installing the E-brake cables. I havent seen the rotors yet but you should be able to just get them turned and they will probably be okay or you could go to autozone and get some blanks for 25.00 dollars or so.

get yourself an air compressor..if not, at least a can of WD-40, and a breaker bar. i just took my suspension out and it would have taken me a longggg *** time without my compressor. good luck

 

you need some steel braded brake lines, which I am selling. PM me if you want them or email greebler99@yahoo.com

 

hey its very easy, i did it without a impact gun , just be pacient, take the ebrake cables first, and then just unbolt your trailing arms

 

Well I took them off the GSR today with russ's help it took us about 2 hrs to get everything off LOL with some .. unique jack stands (Logs old tires haha) but I think I am going to have my mechanic put them back on .. I really dont feel comfortable with working on my own brakes ... I know when im in over my head .... Got pics comming tonight when I get off work ... Midnight Central right now 8 pm

 

Pictures ... am I going to need to replace these rotors ?

 

Yikes, i dunno u can try resurfacing em , thats allot of rust tho id change em if i were you. Why not start up fresh.

 

yep, start up fresh....change those rotors.

 

What rotors? I only see rust there...
Replace them....

 

the big black thingie on the firewall is called a brake booster.
