HokemBokem Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 So I just got back from my dads and everything is PERFECT!! , It felt so damn good while driving home to step on the brake and have no vibrations. The rotors and everything came off with no problem. My dad said i need to brake the new pads in by being easy on the pedal for a while. But what do you guys think? and special ways you guys use to break the new pads and rotors in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 The way I break in my pads and rotors: Get out on an open road. Get to about 10 mph, then start to brake. Get to 35 mph then brake. Then get to 55 mph then brake much firmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokemBokem Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks alot guys. I wouldent have done it if it wasent for this forum and your guys help. I probobly would have got it done and payed twice as much This was my first project on my car and im so glad it turned out great. It feels so good to fix something yourself and i was loosing my mind with those warped shaky rotors. Now the Buick is the way it should be, smooth sailin.

93CutlassSupreme Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 if the michigan guys are interested in having a meet at my place to fix my brakes for once and all, let me know. problem is, i won't put another cent into this POS as long as i own it. funds will have to be aquired somehow, it won't be from me. every dollar i drop into this money bucket can be put towards a car i ACTUALLY WANT. any of the michigan guys wanna steal my car, i woudn't care. if someone stole it tonight i wouldn't care. i'd miss the good times i've had with this car, but i wouldn't miss the car itself one fucking bit.

patgizz Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 the guy that bought my old 93 lumina back in the day "fixed" the rear brake problem on his 90 euro once and for all.... by crimping the line to the rear shut with vise grips.
