Front Brake issues - Kaan - 08-12-2005
Ok... I've fried the front brakes on my crx on the street in 2 months. The front passanger side is carving into the rotor, the drivers side is just really low.
do i just to calipers, rotors, and pads... or do i replace the proportioning valve and MC as well? who wants to do major brake work befor the chili cook off?
please?!?! thats if i can get my hands on all the parts!

dragging caliper(s).
a bad MC you should feel in the pedal (and it wouldnt wear your rotors)
- Kaan - 08-12-2005
so, two caliper rebuild kits... OR two rebuilt calipers... new rotors and street pads

Bring it to the chili cookoff, I'll rock it out for ya.
- Kaan - 08-12-2005

:!: :?: :!:

its a cookout/party, not a wrenchday. You guys can wrench if you want to come a couple hours early, but the tools get put away before 2
- Kaan - 08-12-2005
we know that damn you! thats why we are starting early
i have to get cleaned up before RJs sister shows up
- Mike - 08-12-2005
brakes = cake. i'll help too... do me a favor, jack up the front of the car, take car out of gear and try to spin wheels. how much resistance?
- Kaan - 08-12-2005
i know at least one caliper is bad. the front right... when it started grinding the rotor... i could hear it sticking a little... it might just need to be cleaned up and and have new boots put on it... but if i'm doing one caliper up front i might as well do them both... and it might just be more effective to replace them with rebuilds and not rebuild them on my own.
- Mike - 08-12-2005
find some junk spares locally (i probably have 2 civic cores i could give you), buy rebuilt, and then attempt to rebuild your old ones. having some spares and knowing how to rebuild them = priceless once you start tracking heavily.
- .RJ - 08-12-2005
Shit, I still havent rebuilt my old ones... :hammer:

oh and mikey, crx calipers dont = civic ones... *shrug*
- .RJ - 08-12-2005
Doesnt matter. Buy remans at autozone... pay the core charge... put mikey's old busted ass civic calipers back in the box and get your core $$ back.

Mikey feels used...
