      pad slapping is ultimate poorgay shit, at least get the $30 rotors off Rockauto or something. Brings it to a whopping $100 an axle getting good pads and decent rotors.

        Unless the rotors are warped, worn down thin, cracked, or scored theres no reason to replace them.

          Pad slaps are the number one cause of comebacks at my shop. I always warn the service desk morons not to sell that shit because the customer inevitably comes back wanting free shit because their new brakes are noisy, even if the rotors don't look terrible. You get worse pad life, more squeaks, and worse braking performance if the braking surface isn't either new or resurfaced. Unless you're an ultimate poorgay or don't give a shit about brake noise and reduced pad life, it's not a good idea.

            Do the 280zx front brake upgrade then. Bolt on a 280zx strut+hub+rotor+caliper and you'll have plenty of parts availability at your disposal. Classics, especially of the Japanese sort, require some creativity to keep on the road, you can only pad slap those rotors so long before they literally wear away to dust.

            can you get the rotors turned? There's only one shop around here that still does it, but it's like 50 bucks and should give you a flat surface for at least a little while.

      It's even worse on my car, an '18 chevy camaro. I was pricing it out since I'm going to need tires and front rotors soon.
      >tires
      $1450 for the set, $150 for install
      >brakes
      OE front rotors: $860
      alternatively, non-OE replacement front rotor rings: $800
      OE rear rotors: $225
      OE pads for all 4 corners: $400

      Over 3k for everything. Pay to play!

        >OE rotors
        Is there any actual point to changing them?

        • 1 year ago

          yes, GM is notorious for making jello rotors that get eaten up compared to literally anything else. your only real option is to buy expensive third party alternatives. if youre a moronic pleb you buy OEM ones like that camaro turd and youre stuck in GMs israelite cycle

      depends on what pads OP got. if they're some fancier pad for street + track use then they're gonna cost a pretty penny. i bought some nip dixcel pads because nobody else seems to have performance pads for my car. cost about 500 usd with shipping. Can say that they do hold up to some pretty hard driving but will make your wheels black in no time. small price to pay for great brakes however.
      i also went all out and had the rotors cryo treated so they'd last much longer.

    >just spent $1500 on new tires and rims
    Totally worth it. Previous rims were so out of round that they'd never hold balance. Lost 18 lbs on all four corners. The most noticeable thing is that the car takes twice as long to coast to a stop. I think this is going to send me on a lightness obsession whenever I get around to getting another car.

    The next lightweight mod is for me to lose weight.

      how many curbs were harmed?

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        Actually I don't hit curbs. Most of the damage is from sending the car airborne and driving it crashing over potholes and washboards at full send. Those rims were absolutely toast. I'm surprised they didn't crack. Suspension also had to be replaced alongside the rims and tires, the shocks did not like the accelerated wear and tear. Sounded like machinegun fire when they blew.

        It's amazing what an extra 3/4" of sidewall will do with downsized rims and upsized tires. Car is quiet, comfy, and I can run over things with impunity. I'll probably blow the struts again in 4 years, I'll either scrap the car or add in a higher performance set of springs and remote shocks.

        I should probably get something that's meant to handle that a bit better, but I can wait a bit for prices to drop.
