The $27 rotors were from a thread on
http://www.sr20deforum.com/
They were made in China.
A search for brake rotor china should turn it up.

Motul is about $10 a bottle. Get it if you do track events.
The Syntec should work fine otherwise.

Great, thanks again I'll check it out.sr20 forum hu...I really dont do preformance driving unless you count 3 to 4 trips to the drag strip a year or spending around 6 hrs. a day on the road between two jobs{tends to get the brakes pretty hot}.motul is far priced for what it offers compared to syntec.Its only 3 bucks more bottle it'll probly last longer too..Any way I'd better get back to work. Ive got two job renderings to finish befor I leave or I'll catch hell today.Thanks I'll probly buy the rotos first then do the calipers with nexted month bonus just in case I have to pay the core but steve said if they are busy and his boss isn't over his shoulder he'll just hand them over.

Motul 600 is a performance fluid. You need to change it more often than regular fluid. Part of what makes it so good on the track also attracts moisture. Motul also has a 5.1 fluid that is better for long term use.

For your around town driving, I'd just use the syntec up. Just be sure to use unopened bottles. Any left over in an open bottle will probably be no good by now.

Oh. If thats the case your right. Syntec helped when I first started using it, but I guess I've gotten use to it. I might swap brake fluid like every 30k or when I install new pads. I found rotors at nopi for 35 bucks, and the pad price I had was for the se-r brakes not the ad22vf calipers they are 58 bucks and the hard ware is 35. My local dealership said that they have never had to get those before and that the nx with abs is very rare in this area.

Good price for the rotors.
Depending on the calipers, you may not need the hardware order.
The pads you probably could get cheaper from either Courtesy(www.courtesyparts.com) or Mossy(www.mossyperformance.com), even with shipping.
Just say you are a se-r list member.

Of course, if your dealer has treated you well, there is something to be said for loyalty.
Maybe you could ask your dealership if they would price match?

You're almost ready for the install.
Some tips, put some saranwrap across the brake fluid reservoir top and put the cap back on. This will help keep all your fluid from draining out when the brake lines are off.
Use a new crush washer for the brake lines.
Use a good quality flare head wrench on the bleeder valve, you don't want to round it off.
Don't over tighten anything, use torque specs if you can.

I got a torque wrench and a nine piece brake tool set. I'm all set there. How does saranwrap keep the fluid from coming out?By creating a vaccum? Sounds like a cool trick if it works. I'll have to tell my boss that one. He'll probly laugh and say its some west virgina brake job trick or something. I dont know what I'm going to do with good brakes.I probly give myself seat belt burn.HaHaHa. Oh before I go I've been looking thourgh the se-r archives and I see alot of suff that would help me too. Thanks for directing me their.
