    warp factor 2

    hey peeps i have a horror story for u. how about buying a new set of brembo front rotors to only have them on for about 2hrs. when u learn that ur caliber is stuck open and the heat from driving warps the rotors.. so there goes $35 down the drain. now back to square 1.

    That's why when you do a break job , carefully check everything.

        X2 brakes are a SAFETY item, they should be double checked and triple checked when work is carried out, before driving.
        And hey at least $35 is small change
        BTW $35 sound's very cheap for brembo rotors.

        If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

            I got my Vigor Brembo Blanks for $40 each online, Genuine Brembo quality, not a knock off. But is that 35 a piece or 35/pair?

              Wow.
              Not that i don't believe you, just that over here you'd be very very lucky to find them for under $100.

                I got them off here: Import Replacement Parts $32 each for the OEM Accord rotors and I guess the price went up for Vigors, $44.99 each for those

                I got both my Vigor rotors shipped for like $98-99....GENUINE BREMBO!

                as a comparison, Powerslot slotted rotors are $60.53 each for the Accord, and sadly, they don't make them for the Vigor upgrade I just did, so I had to go w/ blanks...which I don't totally regret in doing.

                  Losiracer2 , when you replaced your accord calipers with those Vigor ones, which Accord calipers did you have before? Akebono or Nissin?

                  Theres a '94 Vigor i think sitting right there right now that i can get the calipers and the rear disks off of right now but they are all Nissin but i've got the Akebono's so that won't work will it?

                    I had the Akebonos paired up w/ Hawk HPS pads. My new Vigor Calipers are Nissins and they bolted up exactly where the old ones went.

                        After i swapped for my sport rotors and pads, one f my calipers seized up while driving. I didnt notice it till i stoped at a 7-11 for some change. it was SMOKING... the disc was starting to turn red..... i thought ffs... more money down the drain. i let it cool down, without using any kind of water on it, replaced the caliper (in the parking lot... lmfao) and was on my way, I have NO vibrations on the brakes, none whatsoever. I can do 160 KPH, hit the brakes, and there is NOTHING vibrating from the brakes.

                          rotors

                          i got the brembos from a friend of mine who upgraded to a set of powerslots all the way around. the brembos was never put on. yea when i went to a friends house i notice smoke and it had a smell i was like damn, then after that it started vibrating..that really messed up my week. today i went and purchased calibers all the way around front and back. and replaced my rotor with another brembo, theres a guy here who can get them dirt cheap, dont ask dont tell. i'll everything on dis saturday. why replace one when u have 3 others that can go out at anytime and cost me more money, besides i have to bleed the system anyway so why not go ahead and do it now to get it out da way. man u got off lucky by just changing the caliber and no problems and i work on other vehicles as a hobby so i have done brakes before on my truck,motocycle,and other vehicles before and they were fine. but what i notices was that they were stuck for a while when i changed the rotors they did grab b-cuz the rotor showed wear from the pads i guess i finally gave up and froze. im glad it stayed open and didnt freeze up in the close position.
