what you think?

hmm, im checking on a pair for myself as well, my concern about those rotors above is the price kinda high, for sumtin saying ES 2.0L Engine and the fact that none of the customer reviews are lancer's

also if the size of the rotors will be an issue. i think standard is 12" but aftermarket can go up to 14"

any views on this guys?

venum · Postby **venum** » January 2nd, 2008, 4:42 pm

^^^ bigger calipers needed as well as bigger rotors will call for them

need to check the entire brake system when doing this as the proportioning will need to be adjusted

jose_c27 · Postby **jose_c27** » January 2nd, 2008, 9:58 pm

what you think of these?, they come with the brake pads and just for 109

Guys i just saw the coolest thing tonight well to me it was

Car CS2-GDI

What was so cool the guy changed around his head lights i.e his high beam was on alone blinding me and when i went into the car the switch was on 1st position i.e low beam and when switched to high beam the lows came on

Any views on this it was real funny too :lol:

Postby **JUS4SHO** » January 10th, 2008, 6:17 am

ummm all you do is switch a couple wires ... thats not cool its dumb

idlemind · Postby **idlemind** » January 10th, 2008, 8:50 am

thats not cool its dumb

a bit confusing if a man borrows ur car

got the rotors today guys, they look decent..jus a couple of the holes are off spot, spoke to a mech and he says its not a problem, but im concerned nevertheless.

il post pics in a few minutes

venum · Postby **venum** » January 10th, 2008, 9:55 am

line it up damn it :!:

take pics of it then

idlemind · Postby **idlemind** » January 10th, 2008, 10:20 am

ok obviously they can be worked for both 100mm and 114mm :lol:

what im concerned about is the positioning of the two other smaller holes

as i said the mech says it doesnt matter, jus need the time to put then on, also initial observations conclude that the full diameter, disc pad area and thickness matches the oem

genghis · Postby **genghis** » January 10th, 2008, 11:03 am

new addition guys

ill post the rest later.

Postby **JUS4SHO** » January 10th, 2008, 12:04 pm

it look like u have bounce down a space man...lol

idlemind take the rotors to a machine shop and see if the balanced if so they good to go

Good News Guys :lol:

we have a workable, reasonably priced aftermarket rotor option
and here are the pics:

taking a lil sleep before the drive in surgery:

up on the bed with new limb beside:

removal:

transplant:

rightside ready:

closer look at the caliper:

leftside install:

ease in the caliper

done:

looks good:

when i reached back to work about 10mins away:
notice the dust as the new pads nolikey

OK what i couldve done by myself freely, costed $70 to install @ mileage mack. now its very easy to do once you have the tools. I of course didn know and didn mind.

I dont have a total landed cost yet, by weekend il know the full damage
but for now the improvments i feelin are:

1. Lighter wheel rotation, maybe because they're a bit lighter than oem
2. Definate improvement in stopping (quicker)
3. The Wagners i put on in October giving me a little bite the moment the car stops completely, like a rrrrt. Once i release its good. Might need to look into it if it doesnt quiet down, maybe change the pads one time.

No high speed testing until i am completely certain satisfied and confident.
(mite be tonite comin from arima to trincity :mrgreen:

***UPDATE***

rrrrt sound when braking completely gone now,
im not getting any sort of friction noise...seems like the pads have adjusted
used tiptronic tonight to assist in braking from 100kmh+
still not 100% comfortable yet, giving it extra time to work in
by tomorow we will see

venum · Postby **venum** » January 12th, 2008, 12:03 am

dude, WONDERFUL pics and write up

allyuh making meh proud

when I leave this thread in a few when the car is sold, I will be leaving it in good hands

do not give too much hard braking on those rotors as yet

give em a couple days break-in. you don't want to scorch them, highly unlikely with those Wagners though

blazing · Postby **blazing** » January 12th, 2008, 2:48 am

no offence but thats not much of a brake upgrade..

and arent those cheap rotors a bit dangerous?

If you own a CS you will know the OEM Rotors are no good
These rotors although cheaper, have been tried and tested and reviewed by other regular customers that own this model lancer. Other rotors i looked at didn have any lancer reviews.

Worst case scenario i machine the OEM and put them back, but then what? Six months later i do the same??? Man my rotors didn even have a lip dug into them and you should see chaos braking from 100km.

Venum Thanks Man i learnin from the Best though, but where you think you going?
The voices in your head tell you when you get rid of the CS you gonna stop posting here???? End them NOW :lol:

fras · Postby **fras** » January 12th, 2008, 4:21 pm

I finally got my net back and is smiles from ear to ear :lol:

My rotors next!

blazing if u own a Lancer u'll know about their brake rotors!
Also It wasn't a brake up-grade... The rotors needed changing so why go back oem right!

By the way You CS3 men that thinking about converting to Manual teichou's conversion is complete... I'll have him do a lil write up on exactly whats needed and wiring info!
