02-STANG-GT · 11-08-2005, 03:51 PM

Just purchased a set of Power Slot[OE] rotors for my 02, Anybody changed rotors, is it simple?Any surprises I should know about? Real satisfied the way they look!

easy as taken the wheel off, unbolt the caliper, move it out of the way pull off old rotor slide new one on and reinstall everything its easy.

02-STANG-GT · 11-08-2005, 05:26 PM

OK Thanks , thats what I want to hear! Doing it this weekend.

spike_africa · 11-08-2005, 08:09 PM

no problem, its really that easy too, but you might as well add some good pads while your in there. and do yourself a favor dont ubolt the brake line from the caliper its not needed to get it out of the way and this way you dont have to bleed the brakes.

02-STANG-GT · 11-12-2005, 03:31 PM

Brake rotor change didn't go as planned, well to begin with ,they sent me what appears to be 4 rear rotors, taking care of that tommorrow, next says I must install new pads, never done that on a mustang,does anyone know ia site where i can get info on [how to]pad replacement? 2002

Islander03GT · 11-12-2005, 07:58 PM

Pad replacement is pretty self explanitory if you're already planning to do the rotors. Pads sit inside the calipers, remove them and clip the new ones in. Make sure to use some no-squeak stuff on the backside of them before installing.

Also, you're going to need the caliper tool for the rear... rent it from Autozone/Kragen

spike_africa · 11-12-2005, 08:12 PM

you odnt have to change pads at all thats bs.

Shambles · 11-12-2005, 11:24 PM

You dont ABSOLUTELY have to change the pads but it is reccommended. This is because the pads have to break into the brakes. If you want to use your stock pads drive around a bit and hit the brakes hard a few times to brake the pads into the new rotors.

If you are going to get new pads Powerslot reccomends getting Hawk Pads. I also reccomend Hawks, because theyre bitchin!

02-STANG-GT · 11-13-2005, 03:15 PM

OK, Here goes, Returned rotors today and they were in the wrong box from power slot, 2 rear rotors were in box marked front,also bought set of hawk pads, i think I need a repair manual , thanks for the advise ! Have to say though after all I been thru these are nice looking rotors for the buck !

*madmatt* · 11-13-2005, 07:09 PM

Id definately recommend the manual, just because of the torque specs they give you in it. Also, maybe look into just some Brembo blank rotors. Cheaper than the powerslots.

MattJ · 11-13-2005, 07:47 PM

How much are hawk pads?

Shambles · 11-13-2005, 09:02 PM

Youll find out when we finish our pricing with powerslot...

Oops did I say too much?

Hurry, hurry...I need new brakes very soon. I would rather buy them here than from somewhere else..

MattJ · 11-13-2005, 10:24 PM

i need brakes too but im not worried untill april is coming up. bob said hes getting the cobra 10th anniversarys and I still dont see em available, or the email I was told I would get when they come in.

02-STANG-GT · 11-14-2005, 06:34 PM

HAWK PADS Total front / rear $142 , , found a manual "haynes" $22, you will like these rotors !

jeredan2003 · 11-14-2005, 07:07 PM

Ill save up and buy the Cobra R Baer Kit. Its about $500 for the front but it would stop soooo much better and they will look great with the dark shadow grey. When I get those Ill probably end up getting the Baer 13" rear kit at the same time. Its like $250.

Just look at ads in magazines such as 5.0 Mustang or Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. Theyre sold by a few different companies in there. Also you can probably go to the 5.0 Resto. web site. Im pretty sure they sell them too. Ive seen prices for the kit range from $499-700.

You won't because the brakes on the cobra R were made by brembo.
