i think i got mine done for about $22 each so both front for $44 good price, just make sure they dont save to much off, they will know the specs. To remove just pull wheel off, then brake callaper off, disc should pull off. If it doesnt there is a small hole on the disc that you can thread a bolt into. Make sure the bolt threads are the same as the hole, then screw till the disc comes off. Easy as. Thats my 33 any ways

race_snooze is right on the money. Make sure you support the caliper once the bolts are removed - otherwise you may damage the brake line.

A light tap with a rubber mallet loosened the fronts but the rears are still stuck on :D

I'm not too sure that every brake place will know the minimum thickness for your rotor - a quick check on here or, better yet, through the workshop manual and you'll have the numbers you need.

If you have time, spray the caliper bolts with WD40 the day before and you will probably need a breaker bar for the stickier bolts.

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
