rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 7m 14d Posted 23/06/10 02:53 AM Share Posted 23/06/10 02:53 AM Jus a quick update for anyone with an FG. I replaced my 4 rotors with RDA slotted (for a bit over 400 bucks) and the improvment was huge! I used to get mucho brake shudder (ok I had 100k + on the oriuginal rotors).very cheap upgradeI found that the rears were the bigest culperit at speeds less than 100kmh (I replaced these first) but slowing from 100+ caused the fronts to get some very bad vibrations happening. All good now (new good quality pads on the front also) but I need to do the brake fluid after bedding in.Dont forget to cleen the hubs with some sand paper (my right front was pretty bad).And as for the obligitory stuff up when ever I work on my car - well dont use a "long" 15mm socket to undo the bolts for the calipers because as you undo the top one you will wedge the ratchet against the shock so tight that you wont be able to switch the selector on it to unwedge it (but you can just undow the bottom bolt and the caliper and disk will loosen - only took me 45 mins to figure that one out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use a 15mm socket at all - just get a 15mm ratchet spanner and the job becomes a LOT easier.You'll pay about $40-45 for a good quality one at a tool shop. Bunnings have cheap ones as well.
