Pics of my brembo install and problem!(lots of pics) - Honda Prelude Forum

The problem!! I've had the shakes up front for a little while and it had to go!!

Here is why!

Yep the damn shim slipped out of place

This is just nasty!! I don't think it is even rated R!!

MR.CLIFFORD · 11-13-2002, 12:25 PM

The new product!! Cadmium coated Brembo rotors and AEM pads

Installed pics on my car with dirty wheels!!

So far the shake is gone! I haven't tested the brakes yet cause I am going to break them in proper.

Total install time: 42 minutes

Current plans are to clean up everything when we do the suspension install this weekend. I'm going to paint the calipers and clean up everything in there. Enjoy the pics!!

Now wasn't that worth the wait for the damn UPS man....kinda?

Good luck with the suspension this weekend.

The shake was getting pretty bad. I was scared to drive it anywhere about 30 miles an hour. I'm glad to have her back! Can't wait till this weekend!

Does anyone know a good mileage to break in new brakes??

y_b_lamron · 11-13-2002, 12:49 PM

I've heard about 500

Glad to hear everything went well Andy! Your install time was a lot shorter than mine. I took a full day, mainly because I was running around trying to find the correct tools for the job.

500 miles is the correct brake in period.

Thanks Mark. I am pretty upset that the shims from the Napa pads came out of place. They were severely beaten. The back side of my rotors looked really bad. I just redid my brakes no more than 6 months ago.

No sir. I tore into my brakes awhile ago. That took awhile to do. So this time it was a charm! I knew all the stuff I had to have before I started. Now Saturday when I replace my suspension........
