EuroAccord13 and MUGEN88's Latest Modifications...

[Chris_F]

I used to sand my OEM rotors every two weeks just to get that little bit more of bite because mine looks like a freaking mirror LOL!

I can see why your pumped about these new pads/rotors..

I really cant wait to upgrade mine now

[EuroAccord13]

Just went on the freeway to bed in the rotors by doing 100km/h - 80km/h braking after picking up some supper to eat, initial bite is still not there yet, guess I'll have to do a few more runs to get it running...

Hi Nick Nice to see you got your new pads and rotors... should be fun changing and bleeding them..

Btw, try to do this...

brake from 40kms to 20 kms (3 sets)
then 60kms to 40kms... ( 3 sets)
then 80kms to 60kms.. (3 sets)
then 100kms to 80kms... (3 sets)

drive for 5-10 mins slow.. to cool down the brakes..

then do the whole set again..

and then cool down....


To bed in the new pads and rotors for the first time.. around 1000kms to 1500kms to get the most effective out of the new pads and rotors... Have a great time..


PS: i know its a bitch, by hey.. remember i change few sets of calipers, rotors, and pads on my car and they were even harder compound to bed.. hehehe... have fun

Just purchased a front set of DBA 4000 series slotted rotors.

Will install them after insurance repairs (due to minor accident). Can't wait...

verdict... oem euro pads = shite

They're not necessarily shite -- just not suitable for track work.

Many road use parts are completely different to race use parts. It's why many race brake applications aren't suitable for road use -- because they never get to operating temperature and will brake worse than normal pads during ordinary road driving.

I drive my car through the Adelaide hills and I've yet to suffer any brake fade (on roads that have caused fade in other cars).

If I were to track the car though, the brakes would be the first thing I'd upgrade. On the track it's not necessarily who can run the fastest speed, it's often who can consistently maintain their speed for longer before needing to brake...

How much did they cost?

[Cranial]

PM'd!

[aaronng]

Thanks!

Why is the price of the rotors a secret?

[STIGT]

Because they are cheap ?? lol

imo
just upgrade the front with some good pads like SSS will be enough
for brake upgrade, i dun think you need to run in.. just sand the pads and discs before you install and it should ready to go. even u not sanding, just normally drive it a while will be ready or else it is what it is
