rotor and brake time.

[Edev]

For most of these kids that IS an upgrade.

brakes? upgrade? nah, not for me..just a safety step that shouldnt be over looked...yet commonly is. im just glad i can actually stop now. it made a world of a difference.

Nice. People will prolly give you crap for being excited about putting new front brake pads and rotors on your vehicle.

I say, nice work, and nice vans. Cheers.

yeah, i know people are. just because it isnt an engine swap (which ive already done), it isnt as important. oh well. i had fun changing them today.

thanks bro :up:

sorry for the horrible angles..my phone sucks with the lighting so i had to tilt it...a lot, just to get the picture clear.











LUNCH! and looking up some DIY info.




heres how my old rotors were


AND my friends dads Austin Healey 3000.




he has had it ever since he was in HS. its a real beaut in real life.

my friend said my car is low, like real low. even though WE ALL know my car is a monster truck. idk where he got the fact that my car is 'low' :rofl:

haha true that. they work amazing btw.

but now i have a random muffled sound coming from somewhere throughout the exhaust. it sounds like maybe a hanger is loose and its rattling?? i never touched any part of the exhaust while doing this mini project. its odd.

Wow, maybe it's just the picture, but that groove in the rotor looks pretty deep.

And E30 maintenance is FTW, all the broke people should listen to this, maintenance > mods.

those rotors were DEAD!

yes, they were completely SHOT. the brake pads had some pretty gnarly grooves in them as well.

exactly. id way rather spend money on my e30 to get it up to safety specs rather than a few mods. its maintenance THEN mods. proper maintenance can save my life, mods (lowering) cant.
