question on brake pad installation...

[RedlineAccord 10+ year member]

Your going to buy a manual to see what fluid you need?! Look on top of the reseviour and it'll tell you. And if you bought Brembo Cross Drilled AND slotted rotors, they're fake. I sell brembo brakes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Brembo does not make a cross drilled a slotted rotor. The performance of one feature alone is more effective than both on the same rotor...

Well I'm not buying the manual to see exactly what fluid I need. I'd like it just as a back-up or a guide if I run into any problems while installing anything on my car. Me and my friends do nearly all our own work. It's just nice to have.

Sucks about the brembos. Hmm, I definitely got them from a reputable site too. I wouldn't mind *****ing at them about it but what the hell would it do now? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I did kind of notice on all their big brake kits that they are normally just oversized, cross-drilled rotors. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

I'd call that site and ask how they made Brembo Cross drilled and slotted rotors, then ask how if brembo doesnt even sell them, how did they get them? What they did, and I see it allll the time on ebay, is a company will buy the brembo rotor and machine in the slots or cross drills and it severly weakens the rotor. Matter of fact, Tell them the rotor failed and when you called brembo they told you they dont sell the cross drilled/slotted discs and that you bought knock-offs and make the company pay for authentic rotors...

Ya I have definitely heard of that happening from people doing that. I definitely did NOT buy them off Ebay for that reason, but who even knows how reputable the website was I guess that I got em from. Time to go digging through some emails...

Unless the fluid is milky which is a common thing up north in passenger cars because of moisture getting into the system. In my late model cars we flush the system after each race. By flushing, all we do is gravity bleed the system. Not much work.
But redline you should be alright.

How does moisture get in the system?

Broken or rotted lines, but you saved yourself saying he should be ok //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif .

As for you late model racing you have much much much more intense braking. C'mon you know better!!

I have a bud who races mods.
