I think I turned rotors into calipers in my head.

I loved my DTC-60s for the track day. They got hot as fuck though, ducting would be a good idea.

<p>Bed-in? And did you switch back to street pads?</p>

Just did a couple 100-30s on the interstate.

I swapped back to HPSs, and reallllllllly miss the initial bite the DTC-60s had. The dust and your wheels aren't friends, and they're loud as fuck. So not the best DD pads.

aidandj 06-26-2015 04:14 PM

<p>Do I have to use HPS with DTC or can I use a parts store pad.</p>

My understanding is the DTCs aren't picky like the carbotechs are.

<p>Well, fucked up on thunderhill. Saturday sold out. Looks like sunday only for now.</p>

I thought your scope liked me, but now I'm getting mixed signals...

I got brackets on Amazon for cheap.

I knew this was coming but I was lazy. Here is the rears that I needed. I am going to check my build thread... i think I posted some part numbers.



Edit: Nope, sorry that was hardware part numbers that I posted.
This is my general shopping method when parts are needed.

<p>I found rears only :/</p>

aidandj 06-30-2015 11:50 AM

<p>So I find rear brackets all day long. But finding a front bracket without a caliper is a pain in the ass. Anybody want new front calipers?</p>

ofspunk7 06-30-2015 11:59 AM

1990 Cheap, beat, and full of mistakes build
 
That sucks.

If only you wanted 1.6 i have some collecting dust.

aidandj 06-30-2015 11:59 AM

<p>I know there has to be someone on here with 1.8 brackets collecting dust. Not sure if I'll find em though.</p>

EO2K 06-30-2015 01:01 PM

Don't you have a smashed up 1.8 car with 1.8 brakes on it? Why are you not using these again? I feel like I'm missing something critical here.
