i have a decent amount of tool, jacks, and stands here at school... maybe ill swing by and give a hand

you can take the pads back off once you bed them in and they are cool. the bedding process also helps the pad material as well as form the third layer between pad and rotor. when putting the pads back on before your sessions, be sure to drive around a bit to form that third layer again though.

looks like the following people can make this:
scott
keith
dave
J Ray
Adam
maybe Blair
Check the forum Sunday morning before you come over incase there are too many cars here. We might have to finish one car and then move it before starting on another, but it shouldn't be too bad.

hahaha, what are you talking about?
- Dave - 09-08-2004
rotors need to be bedded in too, correct?

well, the pads need to bed to new rotors. if you change pads OR rotors, bedding needs to occur.

its 10 am and my lot is still pretty full. I'll start around noon if it clears out some.
- Dave - 09-12-2004
I need to start at 11, want to meet somewhere else?
- BLAIR - 09-12-2004
parents came into town so i had to hang with them.. was going to come by at like 3 but figured you all were long done..... next time though
- Chris - 09-12-2004
great time today and great turn-out. thanks to all for the help. seems like most of us accomplished everything we were going for and there were no real problems this time.
I bedded in the pads and WOW do they stop now. Summit here I come!
- damnit458 - 09-12-2004
I learned how to put in new brake pads!!!!
- ScottyB - 09-12-2004
nice turnout, we got alot done. i learned how to change brake pads today, it was pretty sweet. it's super easy too, which was a great surprise. i swapped out my stock front pads for HP+'s.....after bedding them in here are my thoughts:
pro:
-stops decent cold, even better hot
-they love heat...i used to fear being able to smell my brakes, now its just a sign that the fun is getting started
-pedal feel is basically retained
cons:
-loud
-as
-hell
seriously, when i'm using my brakes at ANY speed below 15mph i might as well just lay on my horn, thats how loud they squeel. small forest mammals run for cover, children laugh and point, and old people cry. i went to McD's and it got to the point where i just started using my e-brake to stop me in the stop and go traffic in the line at the drive through so i didn't have to hear the noise. meanwhile, jay has the HP+'s on every corner of his car and it's near silent. :evil:
- Chris - 09-12-2004
yeah my P+'s are silently wonderful. maybe it will change later.
- Feersty - 09-12-2004
Sounds great guys.
- Dave - 09-12-2004
my shizzle is loud and seems to stop good. Gonna do a quick run-through to make sure nothing has loosened up next weekend, I'd recommend the same for you guys if you have the chance too.
