brakes

Stupid Question!!!!! I just bought cross drilled and slotted brake rotor and new pads. Is there anything I need to do to the surface of the rotor when installing.
Thanks

Clean it. Usually there is some type of coating on it.

RE: brakes

Yeah, spray it and clean it with some brake cleaner. You will see alot of yellow junk left on the rag...That's just to protect the rotors from rust.

RE: brakes

I would buy new bearing and seal for them and instal some braided brake lines and some 76mm calipers and a master cly from a SVO for much better stopping power
