Acura Front rotor upgrades/replacements!!

[Teg-Potential]

Thanks for all the input guys and thanks O2-types.. that website has some good stuff.

www.r1concepts.com

I love them, cheap, great quality, and they stay bright and shiny. Bunch of great reviews too. I have them on my teg.

But i have a bit more info now,
1) dobbs is who i go through and they give lifetime warrenty on breakpads but since im doing te rotors myself ill have to pay $100 for labor ot get them on... worth it for free czu i know if i buy pads i can put those on while i change the rotors.

2) They say ill need a brake fluid transfusion (which the last time i heard transfusino was for my radiator and found out that its basically a waste of money they suckered me into) granted i havn't gotten a fluid transfusion that i know of on my brakes .. is it needed?

3) the guy today said that even if i do the rotors myself there gonna need to take them to the lathe machine and put atleast one cut in them anyway ????? sounds like BS charge to me but please let me know


thanks again.

p.s. if i get pads.. sounds like u guys like EBC/hawk pads.. that right?

The fluid change isnt a bad idea, but there is absolutely NO reason to do ANYTHING to new rotors other than put them on..

I would go with R1 drilled/slotted, and whatever pad you want. My Teg bites hard with Axxis pads and those rotors. Quiet too.

Hey thanks alot guys. you all really helped me out. I decide to go with these rotors:

and these pads:

and going to install them on my own and get the brake fluid flush anyway.. saving like $150 bucks and getting SWEET upgrades. gotta love it.


thanks again
