5. retension all the calliper retaining bolts with a tension wrench
6. remove and clean the rotors, not just the braking surface, but behind the hat where it seats on the hub. I also give them a light hit with some course emmery.
Whats the tension for R33 GTS-t caliper retaining bolts?
I used lucas pads on my 180sx and found that they created way too much dust and i'd never run them again...
