Rebuilt my brakes for the second time this weekend.
Old rotors quite worn. Rear still usable though
First rear caliper I pulled apart is the one I had rebuilt previously,a nd it looked fantastic inside; still heaps greasy
Second rear caliper was one I took to a shop to get rebuilt in 2010, and it wasn't so nice. Rubber gunk on the piston:
The grease used was also very viscous and looked like too much had been used. But weirdly a different thingymajig screw was used (left) to OEM (right), which meant different C-clip, which took me a while to figure out cause my circlip pliers couldn't get into the smaller hole:
But also, there was some weird sleeve inserted at the back of the caliper, presumably to use the new thingymagjig screw, so the OEM item was unable to fit in with its c-clip. I ended up pulling a spare caliper out and used that instead because of its OEM fitment:
Rears done:
Fronts I had rebuilt, and they also looked fantastic. How the piston came out:
Halfway through cleaning it up:
Bores looked close to brand new
Done with new sliders pins as well
I went to Japan recently where I got told about Acre brake pads, so I went with their Light Sports pad, which is virtually the same as the RS Factory Stage S500 pads I used to use, and very similar to the QFM A1RM pad, and the Hawk HP+, BUT they are quite a bit cheaper, and made in Japan. The size is just abit larger than the old A1RM, so should use slightly more rotor
All done:
I went with solid rotors this time for two reasons:
1) cost
2) talking with Daniel Deckers, and looking into race car builds over in the states a lot of cars are using solid face rotors because it provides more braking surface. So if they're using it, then there must be some benefit of it.
just been busy with work, although I've signed up for the club track day in December.. we'll see..
