Default Sorry Guys

Today dcstraight, AdzELXR and Shauno helped out with an overhaul on the FALCN6's brakes, with both front rotors grinding against the caliper, and rotors undersize, wheel bearings never been done in the time i've had the car and a big thrash at Winton race way a few weeks ago i thought i'd better do something.

NFGhia was selling some cross drilled rotors a few weeks ago, by change i happened to see them on his garage floor, 8month old cross drilled rotors, calipers, pads, and braided lines all for $200. (front only)

today we put it all on, much happier with the braking.

The reason i appologise, is that the pics in this thread may blind some people....

standard size rotors in slotted can be had for $100 a side.

hxxp://www.cebcobrakes.com.au/html/s...home.asp?dsb=0 for bigger brakes (big cost too)

LOL@ the amount of sarcasm in this thread!

How do you know he didnt just give the RHF wheel a wipe over before the photos? Going from the responses in this thread it sounds like a likely theory!

Well, I saw John's car tonight, and the rims were definately clean. No photoshopping there!

And Rollin, it would have taken more than just a "wipe over" to clean those rims. It seemed that the brake dust had fused to the rim!
