Hi. My XG brakes (with 11" rotors) are nearing the end of their service lives (rotor and pads are getting too thin). I wonder where I can find a replacement rotor disc for my ride, preferably 2-piece ones. And what do you guys recommend for pads? I am to be using the car for occasional trackdays.

Also, can I use Dot4 brake fluid in my braking system? I read a TSB once that said I can only use DOT3 fluid, but the last time I went to the track, my brake fluid boiled.

Thanks.

 

be prepared to pay out of the ass for 2 piece rotors unless you know someone that does machining. hawks are supposed to be good pads, i have axxis.

look in your manual for the brake fluid that is acceptable. dot 4 is definitely acceptable, i have it in my car. dot 5.1 might work as well, but i doubt dot 5 will.

 

I can get you the same rotors new for like 120-150, but shippings gonna kill ya. Maybe not if shipped with the right company though. I can order rotors custom for anything in Black or Silver, drilled, double drilled, drilled and slotted, or just slotted. If I can get them, then for sure you can (if you didn't go through FlyRyde). I have to pick up two orders this week for a 06 F-150 truck, and a 06 Eclipse, and as long as you just need new XG Rotors and pads, it should be cake to order. I'm sure you'll be able to get some inexpensive replacements. Two piece might set you back a bit though.

 

Best shipping for rotors is USPS flat rate boxes. 8.95 no matter what it weighs! Ive done it a few times.

 

True, but he lives in manilla. LOL

he'd have to use the international flat rate, which is more for SURE.

He'd need to send 4 boxes that way, and as cheap as it'll still be, that's lots of room for error to receive less than 4 out of 4 boxes. My rotor manufacturer used to always send rotors flat rate, until a few hundred shipments (granted he ships tons of rotors every day) never showed up or were damaged. I think now he does all Fedex.
