Guys i just saw the coolest thing tonight well to me it was

Car CS2-GDI

What was so cool the guy changed around his head lights i.e his high beam was on alone blinding me and when i went into the car the switch was on 1st position i.e low beam and when switched to high beam the lows came on

Any views on this it was real funny too Laughing

line it up damn it Exclamation

take pics of it then

idlemind · Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 10:20 am Post subject:

ok obviously they can be worked for both 100mm and 114mm Laughing

what im concerned about is the positioning of the two other smaller holes

as i said the mech says it doesnt matter, jus need the time to put then on, also initial observations conclude that the full diameter, disc pad area and thickness matches the oem

Good News Guys Laughing

we have a workable, reasonably priced aftermarket rotor option
and here are the pics:

taking a lil sleep before the drive in surgery:

up on the bed with new limb beside:

removal:

transplant:

rightside ready:

closer look at the caliper:

leftside install:

ease in the caliper

done:

looks good:

when i reached back to work about 10mins away:
notice the dust as the new pads nolikey

OK what i couldve done by myself freely, costed $70 to install @ mileage mack. now its very easy to do once you have the tools. I of course didn know and didn mind.

I dont have a total landed cost yet, by weekend il know the full damage
but for now the improvments i feelin are:

1. Lighter wheel rotation, maybe because they're a bit lighter than oem
2. Definate improvement in stopping (quicker)
3. The Wagners i put on in October giving me a little bite the moment the car stops completely, like a rrrrt. Once i release its good. Might need to look into it if it doesnt quiet down, maybe change the pads one time.

No high speed testing until i am completely certain satisfied and confident.

***UPDATE***

rrrrt sound when braking completely gone now,
im not getting any sort of friction noise...seems like the pads have adjusted
used tiptronic tonight to assist in braking from 100kmh+
still not 100% comfortable yet, giving it extra time to work in
by tomorow we will see

dude, WONDERFUL pics and write up

allyuh making meh proud

when I leave this thread in a few when the car is sold, I will be leaving it in good hands Smile

do not give too much hard braking on those rotors as yet

give em a couple days break-in. you don't want to scorch them, highly unlikely with those Wagners though

blazing · Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2008 2:48 am Post subject:

no offence but thats not much of a brake upgrade..

and arent those cheap rotors a bit dangerous?

I finally got my net back and is smiles from ear to ear Laughing

My rotors next!

blazing if u own a Lancer u'll know about their brake rotors!
Also It wasn't a brake up-grade... The rotors needed changing so why go back oem right!

By the way You CS3 men that thinking about converting to Manual teichou's conversion is complete... I'll have him do a lil write up on exactly whats needed and wiring info!

Guys am thinking about some more suspension work is there a coil over system or some drop springs that maybe able to help me out if so can someone who bought some tell me of the ride and location and price so i too can purchase right now the back of my can is too high looks even past stock

Thanks

While your intentions seem good, i am just questioning weather it is wise...

I drive a CK so i know about crap brakes and the times i drove the CS nothing seemed wrong but i've heard about the warped rotor situation.

Now why did you choose those no-name, crossdrilled rotors? Aren't there other options available such as the brembo solid discs, powerslot discs, etc? Even expensive cross-drilled rotors crack sometimes under heavy application..what are the possibilities of a cheaper version to do the same?

For everyday driving i would go with a solid brembo or a slotted disc from a more reputable company.

Or what about a direct swap from mitsubishi to mitsubishi, can anyone confirm if the CS brake setup is the same as the CK? If it is, then you could put on some bigger discs and calipers and have a real brake upgrade.

Your rotors may work out fine and work perfectly, so these are just some questions to keep in mind since your brakes are not something that you should be "experimenting" randomly with and your life is at stake should anything go wrong. Cool

venum · Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 1:20 am Post subject:

^^^ you are right

I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for"

but idle did his homework

so time and testing will tell if the economy option i worth the $ or whether it;s worth teh economy

as for the CK option,

teh CS carries bigger discs and calipers than teh CK

that is why the braking on teh CS is so much improved, one area Mitsu designdid not leave out in teh model upgrade

^^^ ah not selling mine ....

btw idlemind your car is 1.8 correct, have to checked to see if the rotor size is the same as for the 1.6 and 1.5 ?

i have a feeling it will not be Sad

idlemind · Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:57 am Post subject:

JUS4SHO, yeah it is, but i believe it WILL WORK! research showed that these rotor manufacturers class the lancers as ES, LS and OZ...the ES is 100mm. LS is 114mm and OZ is 5 lug. 1.3/1.5/1.6/1.8 issue was never brought up. and the only diff i saw between ES/LS/OZ where the wheel spacing. I believe we all got ES.
Fras is also looking to buy end of month and Guys i have the oem rotors in my trunk so if anyone wants a line up jus say. it wont be a problem.

venum and blazing, while the R1 option was cheaper, the quality of the rotor is unquestionable. they are solid and i carefully scrutinized it for flaws.
remember with any aftermarket product, no matter brand, its all a CHANCE you take fellas. I felt comfortable in purchasing these rotors! All my runs are East/West and anytime i build up some speed i have to slow for a traffic light. i never get an opportunity to cross 170 and believe me with the oem rotors i wasnt taking that chance. It was truly a scary ride.

blazing, as venum said i did my homework. OEM brembo solids are NOT good check it out!! read some reviews and see, talk bout rusting and warping. slotted/drilled brembos were way out of my budget. and others seemed ridiculously priced to take a chance with. bear in mind that i looked at OEM spec rotors so that i wonr need to change the Caliper or braking setup. but rest assured im not going to be jamming on those brakes anytime soon. tiptronic ftw!

As for going back OEM. fras and I were looking into it and you looking at $2500TT for one side if im not mistaken. and from my trini and singaporian ppl, oem are going to warp again. machining them going to warp and take away from spec.

blazing, i hear your concern and thanks for looking out! I will observe and stay sharp. but buddy i can safely tell you now, that me and the neighbouring suspension parts felt more in danger with the OEM.

As for the ride so far, its great, comfortable, no squeaks, no slips. but im not putting them to the test. during the week im gonna pop off the wheels and take some 'update' pics

idlemind

I await your results I was thinking abt selling and looking to purchase one ah those 08 from the firm or one of the turbo wagons but plans have chnaged as it will affect my budget

so I am keeping and looking to change engine next year maybe 1.8 or so nothing fancy the vented disc rotors would be a nice upgrade for it what I was also looking at was disc brakes for the rear was speaking to someone over the weekend and told me that he can get the rear set up but it will cost around $5,000.00 right now I considering i

JUS4SHO · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:43 am Post subject:

i know persons who used the R1 brand which in many circles considered an upgrade from the oem for daily use...

idlemind · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 6:01 pm Post subject:

ronsin1, if you changing from the GDI go EFI, dont waste ur time on going back 1.8 GDI (that is if you meant 1.8 GDI). The rotors are nice and to me it wasnt an upgrade, more like a needed swap. but its really an eyecatcher, i must say. the rear setup was never really an option i looked into. i owned an integra with rear discs before and i never found it to be any different from drums. what i can vouch for is if you go thru water or those rear discs get wet...expect skid/slip and a delayed stop. not a nice sight if someone pulls brakes on you.

$5k seems steep... pm teichou and fras about the conversion exp.

JUS4SHO, nice vouch

venum · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:49 pm Post subject:

Idle,

good update, keep the pics coming and teh driving experience as well

ronsin1 buy my car !

rear disc brakes aren't such a great brake upgrade IMHO
