just wanted to post a few pics of my car when i got my brembo rotors installed. my car was sitting for 3 years and was extremely rusted when i got it, thus the rotors were completely shot. compare before and after on this one lol. this is when my car was extremely dirty too, unwashed after 3 years. theres a pic at the end after i got it cleaned up a bit.

 

Moved to brakes

Looks awesome

 

nice....wish i had access to a lift...

 

ah yes, brakes category, whoops. yeah the lift is great, my friend works at bmw so after hes done for the day he can bring in any car and work on it

 

nice stuff man. i want an s13 hatch soo bad.

 

not to rain on your parade but, since we're on the subject...

Is it just me, or do Brembo rotors rust faster than some other brands out there? IE: PowerSlot, Rotora, etc.

 

i have the same bremo rotors and theydo seem to rust a little faster then i thought they would but I was looking at some of the big brake kits and they put a anti rust agent on the roters to keep them from rusting were as bremo does not seem to do that

What pads did you use?

 

my mechanic, [who i have to say is strictly oem], who really knows his stuff but is a strictly oem guy told me to go with stock brakepads. he said if u go aftermarket u gotta worry about them squeaking and potentially eating at the rotors. i needed it on the road right away and didnt want to research these things so i just went oem.

just found out now about the rusting, that sucks, o well. hopefully they'll never look as bad as they did when i got them.

 

Hawk HPS pads are great. Much better stopping power than OEM, no dust, do squeaking, don't eat rotors.

 

hmm ill have to check into that then, thanks for the info
