I need to put on new pads and was wondering if there is a write up for it or is it pretty much straight through changing them.
I'm not sure if it's ok to post this here, but here it goes. Here is the HSPN How-To series on Brake System Maintenance. Part 1: Brake Pads (as well as how to jack up the car and remove the wheels) http://videos.hspn.com/?videoid=44 Part 2: Stainless Steel Brake Lines http://videos.hspn.com/?videoid=45 Part 3: Changing / Bleeding Brake Fluid (as well as how to properly torque the wheels) http://videos.hspn.com/?videoid=46
Not a problem if you post links from other places. We don't compete with other enthusiast forums. And WRXatlanta has good ties with HSPN.
Super easy for the STi. You may have to use your old pads to press your caliper pistons in enough to get the new pads in. Just make sure not to scar your rotor or break the piston boots doing that.
you're welcome . I guess you were with Alex over Dean's house to get tint right? I was the guy who came over to get some stickers, I was driving the 06 STi. I was kinda in a hurry and I wasnt able to stay long.
Has anyone used ceramic pads i hear they produce less brake dust im gonna go with those and see how they do.
I use a kevlar ceramic right now. The EBC green stuff. The upper operating temperature is too low and I will be switching to Hawk HPS pads. They do keep my wheels clean and are quiet, but not optimal for autox. They really start to suck when its summer and I am autox'ing.
