I was bored today so I bought this... - Honda Prelude Forum

Got all of 'em for $200 flat @ inlinefour.com. What do you guys think? Good deal or not? BTW what's a Molycote 77 (for the shims)? Is it just another name for lithium grease?

Very nice, I'd say it's a good deal, I got my front 2 Brembos for 115 shipped, which was a good deal in itself.

dont be too hard on those rotors........ 6 months of mountian driving and 2 autox's and i had cracked both the front rotors.....

NoShoNoGoAccord · 08-09-2002, 05:28 PM

What are good rotors for autoXing then???

Scalifludesi · 08-09-2002, 05:48 PM

I don't do autoXing but I do mountain runs like 3-4 times a year (from Prelude meets) and overall I drive like a granny on the freeway and I keep my distance between cars. I think I should be ok.

did you get all four rotors? or just the front two? Sounds like a pretty cool upgrade, unfortunately i'm probably doing it more because of the looks, hehe,, my rusted old calipers and rotors look like ass behind my big wheels..

H22aPoweredBatMobile · 08-09-2002, 06:47 PM

for 200 im sure he just bought the front 2...im very happy with my powerslots...even tho i dont drive my car hard enough to notice a difference but it looks damn cool...

Screw the Molycote 77, I tried it once, it looks, feels, taste (jk), like regular lithium grease. I've been using regular lithium grease on every brake job that I do, no complaints.

prelude2005 · 08-09-2002, 11:04 PM

very nice, i have brembos myself, its really good, youll love the stopping power. NTPOG has a right up about installing rotors

it was done on my car btw...check out www.ntpog.org and click mods...

Scalifludesi · 08-10-2002, 12:07 AM

lithium grease it is then. I got tons of 'em

And yea 200 is just for the fronts. Since our fronts do most of the job it will be a waste to upgrade the rears. Although I woudn't mind having powerslots in the rear for looks.

Peace,
Justin

Same as stock.

I have the same rotors I think I got mine for 160 total.

Sweet! I wish I could just buy stuff for my car when I got bored.

SLICK96 · 08-10-2002, 01:28 PM

I have the Powerslots and totally love them. Sure, it's not a BIG brake conversion, but it was an improvement over the worthless, stock Si rotors.

hehe actually I was saving $$$ for this mod. I was torn between Legend calipers and stock calipers....one day I had nothing to do and just decided to screw the legend calipers and buy the rotors and brake pads. I could use that extra money for something else.

the best braking solution that i have seen is brembo blanks with carbotech panther plus pads...... its what i run on my accord and what we run on our race car...

What is lithium grease? What does it do?

Lithium grease works just like regular grease but it retains consistency over a wide range of temperatures. Usually applied on high performance bearings, gears and other mechanisms under sliding and rolling friction conditions.

Tola · 08-11-2002, 09:50 PM

When used on brakes, it helps with brake noise/squeels. The caliper and pad is metal to metal, the grease helps dampen the noise. Of course if your pads are worn low, nothing could prevent that type of squeeling.

prelude2005 · 08-11-2002, 09:57 PM

yea i have the brembo slotted, with AEM pads...and wow...the braking power is amazing..............
