i thought it was something different? like rubbing a compund on the rotors? was i smoking something that night?

 

well you should rub down the rotors with an abrasive like a scotch brite pad when you install it. This will give the pads some texture to bite into. A shiny smooth rotor isnt going to brake well.

 

i ordered the powerslot replacements.
these require more that "plug and play" as mentioned above?
i dont think scratching is a good idea considering these rotors are coted with anti-corrosive that is superior to zinc plating

 

Most rotors come with coating, powerslots do that helps with the bedding process, so if yours comes with a coating dont use a scotchbrite, if they dont come with a coating, then yes, scuff them up a little.

also, go to pepboys and get some pad "lube" for the lack of a better term, it goes between the back of the pad, and the clip, it keeps it from rattling.....

but the powerslots are a good choice, and they are basically how i said to install them.

no special or secret tricks......

 

great thanks for the info, i hate going into a project 90% sure, i want to be 100!
think you can name a brand for that lube? i could i always use a reccomendation for a better brand. jk, but really, i want to know the name. =)

I personally wouldnt mind a write up with pics, Im very visual in learning, and Ive always wanted to learn the ins and outs of brakes

 

I think you mean paint the caliper...painting the rotor is no good because the paint will just rub off the first time you use the brakes.

 

LOL, i ment rotor........
im retarded, you all probably think im rolling on red rotors or something..

 

^^^ lol you said rotor again

 

hahaha thats funny

 

LoL. Good show mate...good show..
