Soak them several times during the day, then hit in morning, then remove them! PB will save your life! Also do you have a air impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiemsnox Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 ya i got a impact... where can i get some PB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 ya i got a impact... where can i get some PB? usually walmart. to add if you do replace your calipers go with some ATE calipers thats if they make em for your knuckles. but imho you should rebuild the calipers you have now, since money is tight.

tallhamer88 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 my problem was close. i also have the slotted and cross drilled rotors and got one cracked cause the brake line seized causing caliber to stay agaist the rotor over time it got hot and cracked.how much u pay for the rotors? are those the ebay specials hhaa. on my project sol im just going slotted only. but change brake line if your going to change the caliber brake line is 26. bucks i believe caliber is not much more. then new pads and your good to go. do it right dont half ass it.here is my thread where i had the similar issue. http://www.hondaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=31288 And a good luck to u. air tools ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondahunter Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Personally I would run slotted rotors, but not drilled! I have slotted/dimpled on the rear of my sol, they work good IMO (and yes, I know 70-80% of braking is up front!). But great improvement over what I had, a seized caliper and rotors down to the metal! I bought rear calipers for $70 a piece, rebuilt fronts for $15 a piece, those rebuild kits were from Honda, only place I could find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 only brembo blanks for me. you do need some heat in your brakes to stop. especially when you're running hawk hp+ pads. you can actually tell when you get in and drive in the morning that it wont stop properlly until you've got some heat in them.
