No. Every video I saw if the pins showed them coming out with 1-2 light Taps
Meanwhile mine I could hit as hard as I could and all they did was flatten out but wouldn't move. I think it's due to the corrosion. Everything on the car is corroded really bad. So far I've replaced the major stuff...
Hey so real quick I'm looking at McMaster carr and online to try and find some good prices (I can order thru my job and avoid shipping/get it much. Cheaper). Everything I'm finding is 3in stainless steel schedule 40. But it claims it's a 3in but then says 3.5in OD. Is that the corr
Everything...
Using imgur because photos never work for me on this forum. I did my brakes this morning, finishing up the rears tomorrow, yes the fronts alone took me 8hours of sledgehammer chiseling and more. The brembo pins with the pointed ends are no longer pointed at all some of them are competent...
Give me a little bit and I'll grab some photos of the driver's side atleast. I dinged up the face and unfortunately you can see it with the wheel on so its probably coming off for paint and I hope it fills the dings, might have to sand it down slightly. My biggest concern is the one hole for...
I actually just ordered the normal replacement ones from them. I might cancel the order on Monday or return them but I paid 20$ in shipping to get them here asap. Also I think I need a new caliper I made the one hole bigger than it was originally because I forced the mushroomed head through it...
I have pin punches. Doesent work. Pins are almost completely flush to the furce and mushroomed to hell. They are stuck stuck. 61k miles and it prolly needs new calipers now. This fucking sucks. Brembos has a shitty designed for using pins like this. Just asking for them to get seized up. And...
Powerstop does not come with new pins. I have the powerstop z26 pads right now. I just installed them with the old pins. I don't really have a choice. New rotors and pads. I'll move the car to the street and use it very limitedly until I can get new pins. Lmr has them for like 30$ but 1-2 week...
Yes, I got the one side off, both pins are extremely bent now. Caliper is a bit dinged up, I don't have time to wait for new pins so I'm going to have to hammer the pins somewhat flat, will thrt cause any issues over say 1-2 week? I'll do the pad bed in and then I'll order new pins. Do you think...
Okay, I'm doing it rn but the pins that hold the tension clip won't come out I've been walking them to the point the tapered end is getting flatter and flatter as the metal crushed but doesn't come out. Any tips for removal? I'm going to just keep wacking them for now
Edit, literally scratching...
I'm a little confused here, I'm getting ready to do my 2017 Brembo rotors and pads front and back but what is the torque spec for the caliper mounting bracket bolts for the brembos. Some sources say 85 ft lbs, others say 129 ft lbs. It's a pretty big difference and I can't find anywhere that's...
Ive heard in person mbrp street, borla style, mbrp race and the street when catless it sound smuch louder than yours? Do you have high flow cats? Second or 3rd set of mufflers? Sounds identical to a car with OEM cats. The guy u bought my hood from gas mbrp street, and long tubes. It's easily 3x...
I've get the brembo calipers on mine. Corroded as hell so I'll probably have to scruff them up and order some g2 caliper paint but they should clean up nicely. A nice deep blue would look great against the black car and graphite rims.
Update, the hypermotive jayman guy hasn't posted since 2023 so I don't think my DM will get a reply, ordered from thermal, order confirmed, hoping it ships out by Friday so it's. It delayed a week. You should see how bad the welds are under the car. It's got wire sticking up and shit around the...
What pads are better? It's more than 1 single stopping event. Maybe a dozen or more. I drive hard and fast. And often have to engage maximum braking when slowing down. I also have the bad habit of waiting until the last possible second to brake (habit carried over from my motorcycle because...
Also completely unrelated. But I bought some z26 brake pads to go with centric c tek rotors (all 4 and front and back pads) should I just grab OEM pads? Keep reading on the forums that people have been able to overdrive the z26 pads and I drive my car hard and stop even harder. Many as hard as...
I reached out to hypermotive to see if they could offer a discount but if they don't reply in a couple hours I'll place the order tonight to start the shipping process and just pay thermals price since it's not bad. Not sure how bad the install will be. Probably going to need to lengthen the car...
