DBA Rotor Install Pics

[Devilish34]

Required Items
Jack (DUH!), Rags, Brake Cleaner, penetrating spray, 12mm and 18mm wrenches,22mm impact gun(or tire iron) 24oz rubber mallet,80 grit sand paper(if you are reusing existing pads),C-Clamp (or piston compression tool) gloves, something to sit on, about 2hrs of your time.Little helpers to ask many questions lol like 'What are you doing?" "Why?" "But Why?"

1- jack up car and remove tire.
2- remove brake assembly and compress pistons (caliper first 12mm and 18mm)
3- pad carrier (18mm and mallet the bolts are tight )
4- remove rotors ( I sprayed a little penetrating spray around the center hub and lugs. My front drive side was real tight and took the longest. The others just a little spray and a couple whacks from the mallet)
5- Use break Cleaner to clean up penetrating spray and wipe down excess
6- Clean rotor surface (not painted areas) with some BC on a rag. Don't forget to do the parking brake on the rear rotors.
7- Reassemble (if you're reusing pads knock the glazing off of them with the 80 grit.)

I had a pulse(that I could feel in the steering wheel) with the stockers under hard braking and I can honestly say it is completely gone. Deff noticed a difference at the track and if I push it hard on the back roads.

Aren't the pad carrier bolts torque-to-yield?

Cool they do dress up the car more as well so that is a plus; performance and looks.

Ive only done one panic stop in my GXP so far and I swore up and down I had bit the bullet on that until reality hit me after about 30 seconds.
Especially considering the weight.
