Mint Euro92 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yeah I did ... Mixed Reviews :? , it said it will take 500 miles to break-in so I went easy on them, but they did stop OK ... old pads were about shot so it's good I replaced them anyway. How long did yours take to break-in , or did you ? I didn't won't warp the rotors by getting them to hot to fast ... I torqued the bolts to 100 lbs like the book said -- :shock: How did yours do right after the install? I still dont have 500 miles on mine but the old pads were the el cheapos from the last brake job the previous owner ;my grandmother ; had gotten done about 5 years ago. So it was a vast improvement for my car . Also my rears are complete as well. BTW I didnt wait to try them out :fully: I stood on them hard enough to activate the ABS a few times I could see tire marks from braking but no skiddding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black90Euro Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 well I drove it today and they are much better on my way home at lunch I hit them hard and it stopped real short and everything in the passenger seat went into the floor :shock: real fast ... lol , I'm sure when I get the rears on they will be even better :!: and less pedal pressure is required ..... So I modify my first impressions :oops: they're MUCH better than the old ones ... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black90Euro Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Well I replaced the rear brakes today of course BOTH calipers we frozen solid :x so I had to replace them too, so I got air in the lines now. I didn't have any help to bleed them so I'm going to Firestone in the AM to get it flushed out with new fluid, so hopefully I will be set I was too freakin' tired to take any pics , already had the last tire on when I remembered .... so I just said :? what ever ... total so far... Rotors --- 4 / $194.79 Pads/F -- $68.00 Pads/R -- $40.00 calipers x2 $196.73 brake cleaner $10.00 _________ sub total- $509.52 core refund - $100.00 $409.52 :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know there's not any listed for the Cutty , which is stupid in my opinion you could check with the manufacturer http://www.roto-tech.com/rotobr2.html the cutlass and the malibu have the same part# RT5040 check out there website . I don't know who sells them you can searce the web. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
