New Brakes and pads went on today

Well my brother and I worked on my EVO today and installed the rotors, and pads. We will do my brake lines and fluid next time when I actually have the fluid I wanna use.


Above is the rear driver side rotor going on.


Above is the front pass side rotor installed and completed. In the distance I'm installing a Fluidampr damper, which to my surprise was very very easy to do.


Damper installed, now ready to put the serpentine belt back on


Front driver side rotor complete.... and dont worry I cleaned all the junk off of my calipers...

I need to put up pics of the car with the wheels on... be back in a few

Baer Eradispeeds and Porterfield R4S pads

Russell SS lines and some good fluid, most likely ATE Blue, going in next time I have an afternoon available.

Bedding process?? Baer enclosed an instruction sheet for bedding the new pads in, or in other words seasoning the rotors..... mainly for a calm guy like me its about 500 miles of stop and go driving, but for someone who is in a hurry to track the car there is another procedure outlined in the instructions, which I'll probably have to read 10 times before I understand it.

Not yet, I havent taken it out for a long drive yet.....but mainly its a mod mainly to keep your engine happy at high rpms by absorbing vibrations etc (since I set redline to 8000 RPM's)

If I had sunny warm FLA weather up here in NYC I would have washed and detailed the whole car to a showroom shine....
