11224, HadesOmega's Dual Piston Caliper Transplant Write-up! Posted by HadesOmega, Aug-01-02 05:50 PM
Yes it is finally done the HadesOmega Brake Transplant writeup. I promised a while ago like 2 weeks to be exact that I would do this write up and peeps have been asking left and right. I'll tell you now it's not as difficult as transplanting discs for a rear RS 2GNT. It's like your overhauling your calipers. well here it is enjoy, keep your eyes peeled later for the DPC upgrade album with all the pictures of what I did.
Email me for any questions you got or errors or whatever I made, haha I know I probably made some :( Haha I hope everyone knows how to bleed brakes I didn't include that in my write-up.
Here's the update on the brakes. The rotors are super shiny haven't cracked yet, yep fronts are drilled. About 3 days ago I noticed they BITE hard now, so I guess the rotors are broken in now. Do yourself a favor and if you had warped rotors b4, get new pads for the rear that is hehe, now the rear looks all wavy and crap. I love my brakes I haven't gotten a chance to take them to hwy9 since they've broken in though, but on saturday I will get a chance to test them on Mount Hamilton when all the DSMs go cruisin up there.

shiny already eh hehe, I suggest you paint them unless you wanna see them get all rusted up and crap later on hehe. Or at least coat them with something. Might as well since they're not on the car ;-) Get VHT caliper paint they have caliper paint at pepboys too :)
