Rotor Skimming/replacement


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

My knowledge on braking stuff and when something is stuffed is pretty damn limited so figured I better ask the internet experts at Clubsub for a quick opinion. 

 

Been having a bit of squeak when first applying the brakes when cold (no squeak once used a couple of times) for a while which has now turned into a minor shudder when braking and a faint skimming sound when driving close enough to something for the noise to bounce back. Figured it'd be time to get the rotors skimmed. Not much of a lip on them so shouldn't be a thickness issue. 

 

What do others do with the pads in this situation? All four corners have heaps of meat left on the pads so would rather not replace them unless I really have too. Would a re-bed in be enough? Is lightly skimming pads a thing?
Seems to have some weird contact issues on one of the front and one rear. Wondering if the rear one just needs some form of lube on the slide pin to get the top of the pad pushed in again as it may just be jamming at the top so only pushing the bottom half against the rotor. Think there may be something in the front pad as its a single very thin groove. Mainly interested in peoples opinions on whether to reuse old pads or not as I can't seem to find any other info on this exact situation

      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
