Rear brake upgrade

rev_zone · Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:02 am Post subject: Rear brake upgrade

Just did my rear brake upgrade from stock 262mm rotor to Espec 302mm rotor. Weight weight it's around the same as stock got thicker center hub whereby Espec rotor does not so bigger doesn't mean it will be heavier.

As I'm on project mu racing777 the initial bite can be quite aggressive to the extend if I brake abit harder our body will jerk forward. Due to this ganna nag by wife during the whole PG journey. After bedding in a while for about 2 days, noticed some difference in the braking system. I noticed during hard braking, the braking force can really spread evenly and the forward jerking feel was gone. I ask my wife to take note of this point and she agreed with me as well.

Don't say I never tell you hor. Espec gotto stop produce rear brake upgrade kit for FD very soon. News was heard from TW side and my friend still got 1 last set in hand looking for buyer.

As for rear caliper I'm using Soft99 Caliper Paint (paint on, not spray on type) so just take out your rim and be a painter for once like me. Laughing

You want bo, can buy for you and ship over. 1 can can share among at least 3 pairs rear caliper. S$43 per can.

The rear brake upgrade kit comes with 302mm rotor + brackets + all nuts require so it's direct bolt on type.

Wah....... Exclamation

...the name of this brake caliper paint so damn funny lah Laughing

Summore looks to be exact SPOON blue colour Exclamation

Must be some sort of heat-proof high temperature paint I think Cool

...I've seen high temperature paint in aerosol cans here in KL (...at Carrefour Subang Jaya) but dunno whether can be used on brake calipers..should be ok I guess..

I bought brake cleaning spray. Spray clean the caliper, rim never take out at all and start painting it. Very fast dry, around 30mins will do. So far I did 1 layer nia and it seems the paint very thick to me liao. Let me repeat one more time, it's PAINT ON not SPRAY ON. Think you got it wrong on that.

You guys can try to work things out among yourself. as I had said 1 Can can use on 3 pairs rear caliper. Got Blue, Red and one more colour forgotten which one. Best one shoot tell me needs how many Cans so can ship one time save on shipping.
