New rotors, LS400 calipers and pads.

Several days of hand polishing later...





Love the new stopping power and bling.

Anyone with drilled slotted rotors have steering wheel vibration when braking? Maybe I just need to drive on them for a while.

 

very nice!
did you coat them with anything to seal them? if not then have fun polishing them all the time.

 

ahh i see you finally finished! you never grabbed the tool at home depot? is it gold?? gold would niceeee

 

I left them as raw aluminum. I read that clear coat would make it not as shiny and just get in the way if I wanted to redo them again. I don't mind polishing them once in the while since I'm already there for my wheels.

 

i forgot the ls calipers were aluminum
what did you use to polish with? i used wenol on my intercooling piping and it made it look like chrome. you might want to check it out, but its not cheap.

 

Looks nice.. Take some full pics of the car...

 

I wetsanded from 220, 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit then polished it with Meguiar's metal polish. I'll check out that Wenol stuff. It sounds pretty good.

 

gettin vibs from brakin just means you need to get your rotors resurfaced... but lookin good chris, seen yo car @ pursuit, shiet is dope in person...

 

The vibrations have stopped after driving it for a few days. Maybe they just needed some breaking in.

Tom! I didn't get a chance to meet you or see your car. I was wondering where you were. Thanks for the compliment.

And here is a full shot.



Now I need something new for the rears.

 

WOW. Looks a lot better than the OEM brakes behind those wheels.

 

Nice rotors. Be prepared for this.

 

awesome chris, looks sick!

 

lol i was walking around the whole place and got hella tired haha... sat near glen's tent for a minute and looked around the track area. were u sittin next to your cars? and oh yeah my car aint worth lookin at,i parked in the 2 gs section in the parkin lot. i arrived kinda late around 1130. woke up with a head from the nite before haha too much drinkin.. my car is crappy from the drive down south and its not even finished yet... hopefully next year comes around ill throw a few parts together

 

i thought about polishing my calp... but iono dont wanna be car-less for a few days =[

looks cool tho.. just gotta repolish em after awhile..

 

Brakes look dope chrispy!.. How much did you get those calipers for if you dont mind me asking? Im torn between supra and these.. Im gonna get the front RCA so I can fit either.

Wow, that sucks that the rotor cracked.. Is that because its slotted and drilled? is that a certain brand that cracks like that?
