I just purchased my second s2000. It is a 2001 near 65,000 miles. The one discrepancy I have is how thinned the brakes are. As mechanically inclined as I am, I enjoy always gone brake jobs up to the "professionals". This time however, I chew over I'm just going to meet head-on it myself. I need to know how to describe which components are in inevitability of replacing. It takes a more than usual amount of pressure on the pedal to get hold of the car stopping how it should. How do I notify if I need to replace a moment ago pads or rotors. Or should I consider a caliper do from scratch kit too? I do savour road rallying through the twisties, and If I do want to replace the rotors, should I consider drilled and slotted replacements? Basically, how do I tell what parts are worn historic their usability?
Answers: Okay, although I was avoiding this one, since noone else have taken time to help you, I will.
Your first problem be buying a Honda. Haha, that out of the way, let's do this.
Rotors: To see if your rotors requirement replacement, you will need two things. A brochure on your vehicle, and a caliper. A caliper is an engineering and automotive tool used to very accurately weigh up small sizs, from .1 mm to 12''. I recommend a digital one, as it was fashion readability much easier, and they can be aquired for about $15 US. Now, calculate the lowest, or most worn, spot on each rotor. Referring to the instruction manual, see if the remaining amount of metal is still okay by factory standards. If not, replace, if so, keep, and if too fruitless, resurface.
Pads: First, check for un-even wear. This will also help near rotor inspection. Is one pad more worn than the other? Does it look conical? Some caliper adjustment may be required. Now, on each and every brake wipe you will find a metal prong, looks like a dental scraper. Now these scrapers are designed to touch the brake roto and cry when the brakes have worn away, to the point of essential replaceent. Just like the rotors, some brakes pade may still be apposite. Howver, when replaceing ons side (i.e. driver front) always replace to conflicting corresponding (ie passenger front)
Remember though, that a thurough bleeding WILL be required, and to follow the haynes instrutions, as your abs may require a specific order.
Also, that the brakes may simply need a flush/more fluid added.
Good Luck, -RAJ
