Cross Drilled Rotor install
Thought you guys might want to see the damage report on my rotor install found out that when I took off the right front the caliper was locked into the old rotor. You can literally see the steel shaved from the rotor......

Installing the new rotors was simple...
Take a clamp to each caliper to open them up, that way you don't have to bleed the lines.........
These are the brand pads that I am using.........

This is what it looked like after I put the new rotors on........
I was able to free up the frozen caliper to rotor with some WD40...
Then I pushed on the pedal a few times while KEV got the grime out. " So technically a little bleeding was needed to the right front caliper".....
It brakes on a dime now......

very nice, i just got some slotted drilled rotors the other day.
What kinda tool did u use to take out the large phillips screw that holds the rotor in place.
I was simply going to put a lil heat on it and use a very large phillips
here are mine

I used a 90degree pnuematic drill with bit......
How much did you spend, I only paid $90 for my full set of rotors............

Well as far as performance pads go, I bought the CBK semi metalics for the front. So the front end would stop on a dime.
I bought cheap organics for the rear so that I can do standstills, drifting, and burn mmmmmaaaaaddd rubber, I didn't wan't the rear to lock up at all. But rather just ride smooth especially on the release of e braking............
Just my 2 cent's.
But if you really want to stop on a dime you can go with the z31 dual caliper upgrade that fit the s13. Bigger brakes that you can buy cheaper pads, like raybestos brake pads..........
Damn you can never beat free rotors, you lucky S.O.B..
Just kiddin' on the SOB

DOT 5?????? I only thought there was a mix of DOT 3, DOT3/4, and DOT4, didn't know that there was a DOT 5..........
The company called Magnum who I bought the rotors from on ebay also sells steel braided brakelines in the set of 4 for 69.99, I think they were asking for $15 shipping.

yea man when i seen it , it was new to me. my sponsor had some. its purple and redline makes it. he had to waste an entier bottle which cost like 20 bucks, to flush the system. It also works very very good under hard braking on autocross style courses.
yea i seen those braided lines. im getting them I also read about putting a z32 mastercylinder into a 240. I might be doing that as well.
cheap mods that make a difference is what i call it lol.
