Got These Yesterday - Honda Prelude Forum

willmbrk · 05-04-2003, 02:31 PM

I got my Powerslot slotted rotors instaled yesterday. I only had the fronts done and I got a pretty good deal on them. It cost me $70 a rotor and $45 to install. These rotors are plated, too.

Next week, I am getting some KYB GR2s and Tein Springs installed. I figure that those will hold me off until I pay my car off.

suspension is easy

Rotors look nice

hey if you need help installing the spring hit me up i am willing to help ya out

45 for install!!!!!!!!!! its an easy hour or so of work.

willmbrk · 05-06-2003, 12:15 AM

I know its easy, but I really don't want to deal with fixing the car. I prefer to have someone else do the work, and if something goes wrong, I am covered. Bah, call me lazy

BTW. These rotors are very good, especially combined with an ACT clutch. I have to stop abruptly today, and between downshifting and tapping the brakes, I slowed down from 80 to 60 before the snap of a thumb..hehe I even chirpped

Dang, bro! It took my friend and I like 4 hours to do mine, but then again, I had never removed my own struts & springs before. Do you have all of the tools, like a spring compressor, or do you just use your foot? If I buy new struts & springs, or Teins, I just might have to hit you up for some help.

Looks like you've already beat on those brakes pretty bad....did you make sure to take it easy for a few hundred?

vipastyle · 06-05-2003, 11:34 PM

Oh man thats sweet! If you install it, you save money and get the experience.

fourthgeneration · 06-06-2003, 12:03 AM

HAHA i payed 55$ and 0 for the install

Si4WS · 06-06-2003, 12:14 AM

I don't see that they are beat up. I did take it easy on them and they work fine. I also looked at my receipt and they cost $65 instead of $70

4bidden · 06-06-2003, 01:21 AM

Well they already have pretty deep scraped in them it looks like. My new Brembos arent even like that yet and they've been on for about 500 miles.

I probably have no idea what im talking about.

he only had rotors install not suspension. that takes me somewhere over 2 hours.

Deepmist · 06-06-2003, 02:41 AM

Took me and my friends about an hour to take the old rotors off and 30 minutes to put new ones on. 10hours in between to paint the cailpers. The hard part is taking off brakes that haven't been touched for 8 years

. That was a pain.
