redoing brakes/what track pads

[nickmp0wer]

Im going to get the tms kit with the stainless lines and ultimate pads along with a 25mm master cylender. Anything else i should replce at the time? get one of the caliper rebuild kits perhaps?

and...

ultimates + a good bleed w/ super blue or valvoline syn power.

You get heavy fade with those though.

This is what you need:

best advice: leave your fucking car alone. get the ultimates and bleed your brakes good with super blue. (like e30sd posted numbnuts)

SS lines are a luxury and a major PITA.

and the 25mm MC is gay and for ricers.



btw, brilliant pshop or find.

[nickmp0wer]

from what i have read people have loved their mc upgrades, and the ss lines seem to be worth it too

[rwh11385]

the MC upgrade is forum bullshit.


and its a major major pain to do the SS lines. if you're have a shop do it, who cares but the subframe lines are fucking tough (unless you have it out). and still, if rust is an issue, it's tough.


just bleed your system well and you'll be fine.

SS lines are not that hard.. if you have to pay a shop to do it for you, you are a fucking idiot.

also, the difference between my brakes with SS lines and my buddie's stock brakes is scary. I don't even like driving his car, the pedal feels mushy as hell to me (it's been bled too). brake modulation is much easier in my car (this helps threshold braking).

[rwh11385]

BULLSHIT. How the fuck do you get to the inner lines. Especially if they are rusted on. BEHIND the subframe.

jesus, chris you lie. you even said it yourself.

A few months before that I installed the stainless steel brake lines. That sucked, I got brake fluid in my eye. Those rear ones are the worst.

it's almost impossible to do without removing the subframe, in fact I didn't get to the inner drivers side until I did all my bushings and had the subframe out. kinda wondering how you got brake fluid in your eye, that must have hurt!

ha. owned.

[nando]

do you have a life?

I could have done it but I knew I was removing the subframe later anyway. and with the exhaust out of the way it would have been easier, but I was doing this in my parents driveway, with no lift (or even jacks, ix stock ride height owns you). I did the inner passengery side with the subframe there no problem..

also, it's not like lowering the subframe is all that hard. you don't have to remove it completely from the car either. and use a box end wrench so you don't fuck up the connectors..

btw, my car is not rusty anywhere. ;)

[rwh11385]

corporate job.

i got paid to find that.

btw, my car is not rusty anywhere.

lucky bitch. it would have been easy if not for the car being welded together by rust. brake lines especially.
