Well so i have had my fc fro about 2 years now
we have had its bonding moments
and moments where i just plain hate it
but this is just an example of when we bond lol enjoy



so first of all i have never changed brakes on my car before
let alone every changed brakes in the first place

 

okay here are a picture of my calipers




then here are my rotors
as you can see they were past due( well the rear ones but hey go all out and be satisfied in the end)

 

so i got the 4 piston calipers form a donor car
i painted them
but tried to clean them with brake cleaner
not a good idea so that goes in my things not to do or to watch out for

 

so i tried out this place called 88rotors
ordered slotted rotors and pads from them
better than what i had before
and then i sent the calipers as cores to get freshly rebuilt ones (this is a good thing because i have warranty and anything goes wrong with the calipers its their behind)

 

so it was time to get rid of the old
and bring in the new and install them
along with bleeding the lines and getting rid of all the air in the system

the rear

 

1 pistons were okay but 4 pistons are way better

 

awww punk u dont have the rebuilts yet huh?? i wanted to see some pics of them babys lol


edit nvm.. ur still posting lol

Did you install the hardline? did you go with stainless steel braided lines?

 

well here it is 4 piston calipers freshly rebuilt with new pads and slotted rotors

 

dam money shot...

imma have to do this one day but trade my calipers for fd cores jus for the bling factor =D

 

I think thats the stupidest **** I've heard all day. And you weren't even trying to be funny...

 

hahaha yeah it feels good
way better than the scratching sound it had because the rotors were just done and far from being resurfaced
i haven't done the SS brake lines yet
its in the process
it came out pretty good for an 18 year old first year college student and the help of my brother for bleeding the lines and holding tools or switching off we got down


thanks for checking out my posts =] appreciate it

 

well hope you guys enjoyed what i did
well the pix =]

 

nice job, they look clean and properly done. the 4 pot calipers are wonderful brakes.

 

people do it, people on this forum dont usually think outside the box like that. if i do need to rebuild mine.. ill go fd calipers purely for the cosmetic appearance behind my big volk rims

quote from another forum

 

I actually do like the bigger Mazda logo on the FD calipers XD

 

i have never seen a pair of FD calipers
so i don't really know the big difference between both of them
besides the FD having 4 all around? do they have 4 all around?

 

finally!
