Rotor Replacement
95- RS<p>Don't want to pay to replace rotors, I know their easy. But, do you need to un screw the center hub nut. Or do the rotors just pop off once the wheel and caliper are off???<p>THankx, Brian

Re: Rotor Replacement
come off once you get the caliper off. make sure you buy rotors that are garaunteed to not have to be turned.
Fast imports only come on two wheels.

Re: Rotor Replacement
All rotors brand new need to be turned, regardless. They're not completly tru, and have enough runout to cause a pulsation or noise later down the road. <p>

Re: Rotor Replacement
I know this sounds dumb, but what do you mean by turned?

Re: Rotor Replacement
turned meaning spun on a brake lathe. Some GOOD brands not the cheap-o brands do not need to be turned. I would reccomend bendix or Raybestos. Either that or cross drilled rotors should be fine.

Re: Rotor Replacement
i just had to drop my .02 into this topic. remember to clean the new rotors with denatured alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or some cleaning solution. the reason being is that they coat them with something from the factory and i heard from a pretty good source that they can really eat up the rotors after say about 1000mi.
