Budget Brake Rotor Upgrade


Recommended Posts

I've been due for some new brake rotors for a while now, with pretty bad steering wheel shudder under heavy braking and some very rusty uneven rotors:

Front Rotors - XP - DBA650

Rear Rotors - Techstop (Exedy) - EDR91294

Front Pads - Remsa Ultra Ceramic - DB1170UC (4 pot)

Rear Pads - Remsa Ultra Ceramic - DB1220UC (2 pot)

CV boot - Cedele - CBK7230 (rear inner/mine's split in half)

Sick of ugly rusty rotors, but not wanting to fork out for flash coated rotors. I've done my own using a high temp ceramic header paint. After thoroughly cleaning the new rotors with brake cleaner to remove any packing wax residue, I've masked the pad surfaces. Trimming around the edges with a razorblade:

Wanting to paint the outside edges of the rotors but not worried about the rear, I've taped completely over the back side:

All ready for 2 thin, then a final thick coat of VHT flame proof silica ceramic header paint. Chemical resistant and good for up to 1093C intermittently:

3 coats on the front. I stuffed a rag inside the rear rotors to keep the park brake face clean:

Then 2 coats on the rear outside lip, also to get into the vents properly:

Masking tape removed before the paint gets too hard. Then the edges tidied up with a flat razorblade:

Both rears done:

Rotor rear face untouched, but never seen anyway:

Finished product ready to be oven baked to cure the paint. Just waiting on matching 2 pot rear pads to arrive before fitting:

0.8 x can of paint/1 x 25m x 24mm masking tape (half a 50m roll)/Razorblade (Tajima)/Oven.

How long are they in the oven for? And at what temperature? Fan Bake?

Can says bake at:

121C for 30min, then cool for 30min.

204C for 30min, then cool for 30min.

315C for 30min, then cool.

My oven doesn't go high enough for the final bake so I'm just repeating step 2.

Good to see you went to Supercheap for all of this stuff :) Techstop is made by Exedy so its definitely a decent brand. XP is our cheapish brand but still okay for what you need. All this stuff is readily available so its good you listed all the part numbers. Looks real good man! Probably post photos when i do my pads and rotors soon

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
