Guest sunnyG83 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i can sympathise with you mate as my brakes are shot too and i managed to rip the undertray off while i was reversing as it caught on the lip of the pavement DOH plus my tyre's are bald. but nice day though. @Ahhh Aristo: thanks for rubbing it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 my calipers are sticking like a bitch. some how changed the stucture of the metal in the disk (right front) as they warm up they expand unevenly and judder like a bastard. one of those stupid red speed bumps trashed the undertray.

Guest chiefvinso Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Sorry to hear that black cat, I've heard that the stock rotors (disks) do the job well and I see you have 3g and I assume you are running jspec brakes? Hope it gets sorted for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 this is gona sound really bad....... i want to leave it on cos the under side of the engine will get dirty........ well when you take it off there is a fair bit of protection under there (I think a large metal plate from what I could see) before the dirt gets to the engine... or they're £100 to replace, £50 for a second hand one....
