well 2 are on the...the front, the other are planned for this weekend or wensday since its took almost 5 hours to prep the caliper, and housing for the rotors. Taking everything off was about 5 minutes.....but i have some pics in the meantime, the tires arent on yet with the new ones because we ran into a small problem

mind the dirty wheel theres been alot of pollen and no time to wash my car....and i plan to wash in there when i do thosse calipers



that was a pciture of the rear jsut to see what it looked like first even though we did the fornt

Looks great! Where did you get the rotors from and how much did they cost?

looks good, but i would never be able to work in gloves like that that would drive me nuts

MyFirstCamaro

only reason i was using those golves was because i was using a drill with a wire brush at the end and had to hold the caliper

rotors i got from r1concept.....i think we payed about 17o with shipping

and if they break there cheap enough to buy a new one

hopefully tommorrow morning i can get them with the wheels on

i bought some cheaper rotors like that and they have worked great, ive had them on for like a year and half probably

MyFirstCamaro

makes me feel better, but i dont really think they will let me down...if anything its the problem i ran into that scares me
on one side the bolt that holds the caliper on....the top bolt, whne i tighten it, the bolt spins but its not striped (rotor still able to spin)
on the other side the same bolt when its tight you cant spin the rotors and the bolt doesnt spin so im not sure what weare going to do anout that yet

well i had a rotor bolt snap before when i was going like 50 and the front right wheel just completely locked and almost threw me off the road so keep that in mind if the bolt is messed up, but also i had to get ceramic pads too cause they were making all kids of squeaking and crap before then i got the pads and not a peep.

r1concepts makes great rotors

MyFirstCamaro

i got ceramic pads.... but i dont know if i should loosen that one bolt so it can spin i need to have some1 come over tommorrow and look at it see what they think

MyFirstCamaro

i think i decided to go with them because of you

Looks good! You need some Camaro letters on those calipers..

MyFirstCamaro

i was thinking about getting them...but i cant imagine vinysl staying on to well since i have only seen painted raised letters that came on the calipers

2000v6cam

u could always just find what the bolts are supposed to be torqued down to, i have it somewhere i just dont know where my book of stuff is

MyFirstCamaro

if you find that out for me that would be awesome il be back in like an hour

paarman97maro

looks really good..

Just so you know the new pads are going to be touching the rotors if thats what youre worried about. After 5 minutes of driving they will size down.
