did op check the thickness of his rotors no it seems not did he at least sand the rotors letalone machine them
and yes the slides need to be greased and the two bolts should be replaced as when they are tightened they stretch which makes them weak that is why some ppl use locktight so they only have to lightly torque them
Yes did check the thickness of my rotors, they are still within spec of the Disc on, No did not machine them for the simple fact they were not glazed or grooved. Besides why pay $40 to have someone machine them when new discs are $100 new for 2 of them. Machine discs are more likely to warp cause they are thinner.
And the Sides were still very greased, if they were anymore greased oil would just go everywhere lol
As for lock tight, nup as a few mechanic mates said they dont use it, just make sure there ####ing tight witch they are.
20,000 later they are still wearing perfectly, no probs since. My brother had a Holden Mechanic do his brakes, they forgot to tighten a bleeder, then he took off and went for the brakes and of course no pressure and required the hand brake, This is why i dont trust mechanics cause they are just in a rush and dont look over things a million times.
