I can't even see if my pads are low. Worst brake design ever.

I don't know the backstory. Do you have a link to more info?

My rotors where totally sealed, I bashed at them and used pb blaster and they didnt even budge, when I finally went out and bought these bolts, it came off no sweat. Save yourself some time and effort. Any twin owner who plans on servicing their own brakes should spend the dollar or two and have these bolts lying around.

Thanks for the tip.

When I had to remove one front rotor to replace a wheel stud,
I had to bash it with the 4lb. sledge more than any other rotor I've ever removed.
For a newish car, I could not believe how much hammer the rotor required.

I just checked and I already have M8x1.25 bolts in this assortment in my tool chest.
I love when stuff pays for itself

Sure he did. He said "EVERY other car in a parking lot".

Hey I for one enjoy your snowflake melting techniques. You are usually right on the mark even if not all touchy feely. Hum just had a charitable moment. I am sure he got over it.
Maybe we should all sit around holding hands and singing?

Well, that is right thoughtful of you, there, Mr.ac.

I don't recall, did you try to sell him a Civic?

1) Go to the first car you see in any parking lot.
2_ Look inside the wheels

3) This is what you will see.

Shocking that this is news to some people.
Is the BRZ your first car ?

Tell us more about how Centric and StopTech are unknown in the German car aftermarket. Because they're all over the most respected names in the business like Bimmerworld, Eurosport, APR, FCP Euro, etc.

EDIT:. On second thought, don't bother..

Sure if the first car I see is some crap econobox with light braking systems. Even then the majority will not be visible. Not my first car but I never judged my cars on ease of seeing pads anyways. You would have just given up on cars completely in the drum brake days I guess.

Many of us don't use aftermarket parts.
I use Zimmerman rotors and Textar, Pagid or Jurid pads

Ricers gonna rice for all brands.
