I need some new rotors and want to put them on myself, do brand new ones need to be turned? like trued or anything? where is a good place to find something a little better than OEM, maybe something drilled. thanks guys.

 

some cheap *** rotors need to be turned prior to initial install, most high quality ones don't.


I suggust doing the following:

no drilled, no slotted, Brembo blanks

I found some Brembo's on ebay, new in the box for 65.00 a pair shipped, sound decent? so i shouldnt have to do anything but bolt them on with some new pads and go right?

Thanks for the help.

 

correct

 

HAHA, easier said than done.

 

Well, obviously, it's a little more than that, I just mean, I should be able to put those rotors and new pads and not need to have them turned.

 

yep, might want to flush your brake fluid too

 

you stole my words, hehe, well, try to use a better fluid, maybe DOT4 or 5.1

he does.

 

brakes were the biggest pain-in-the-*** repair i've had on my car so far. well that and the 90k tune-up (the crank pulley was a BITCH!)

 

I got rotors down to about 25 minutes

 

Thats what I like to hear, I figure as long as it doe's not require any special tools, should be cool. I was going to use OEM pads, anything better thats cheaper than 50 bucks a set? I dont want them squealing on me either. I used some cheapos from autozone once, noisey buggers, and switched back to OEM, nice and quiet. Thanks for all the help.

 

 

ebay isnt bad. if you guys want. i match nopi's online price for the rotors.. so anyone needs them they are bit cheaper

 

Someone in another forum said there are some bearings to press out? yeah? its a 96 accord.

 

Depends, i pull the whole assembly out, bearing, race, and all.

When I put it back in I never-seize the **** out of the back side of the race so it will never be that tough to get out

if it is first time you will need a good weekend and a whole lot of patience to get it done, then it will be like cake

the only special tools you will need are a ball joint seperator and 36mm socket

 

who wants to take a road trip down here to help me do my swap this weekend? any takers?
free and green too!!!
