SZ Vented disk install.

Post by Michael »

Here are some pics of the SZ brake job:

I got the kit from Performatek.

Rebuilding the caliper (one done so far) was a bit of a task - even though I've done it a few times before, the snap ring on the inner adjuster is always fun to remove & replace :x

All the rubber bits were pretty toasted which accounts for the leakage from the adjusters when I adjusted the brakes. Hopefully the heat shedding capabilities of the vented disks will keep the temps down enough to avoid this problem in the future.

Has anyone installed rear brake cooling ducts? I'd like to see some pics of this to give me some ideas.

Cheers,
Michael
