    Hello Ken, I just happened upon your video while searching for install instructions for 2-piece rotors. I didn't install my EBC rotors the other day because the instructions got into something about run-out and using a gauge to verify this, so I just postponed. I didn't want to get stuck at the track with a rotor problem. The car did fine with the old rotors, which was good. So in watching your video I'm not seeing anything about run-out, or measuring. I'm assuming that's not anything to be concerned about, especially since my set came with hats and rotors already assembled (?). In any case, it was a pleasant surprise to see that this video was one of yours! I'll let you know how the new rotors do when I get them installed (before my next event in mid-February). Best, Ken M

  • @RobHTech

    I believe I figured out some of this. The front is what it is. The rear, however, is different, which figured out after a bunch of research. You can use the old rear 316x20 rotors and the old rear 2-pot calipers and just bolt them right on. Calipers from a 15-17 WRX, 8-10 STI, and 12-17 STI and 15-17 base STI. LR 26692FG030 (old is 26692FG031) and RR 26692FG021 (old is 26692FG020). Get off RockAuto. don't need STI branded calipers. Mind you that these are reman or new, but IDK about the temp rating of the seals used. One very important aspect of this is the the rear rotors inner diameter for the parking brake for manual parking brake is 190mm. Rock Auto has them. Take your pick. Also, upgrading to the 19-21 STI 6 pot goes up to 340mm, if you really wanted. Flatorins has them. change the F knuckles and they just bolt right on.

    This is why if the company has the option, you pick Pre-bedded pads (Carbotech, GLOC brake pads has this option). From what I understand, if you use brand new rotors, there will initially be a few laps where your car will just naturally transfer materials to the new rotor. Then mid day when You and your car are all warmed up, the rotors are also bedded. The tricky part is getting your Track pads bedded as they are normally only going to bed at high temperatures. Therefore, Go for the Pre-bed option and don't gamble on screwing up (even though technically it isn't a hard process). - New Rotors bed naturally with use. If you are in actual racing and not for hobby, have the rotors pre-bedded for maximum reliability and consistency. - If you use Old rotors, it is recommended to clean them up with a sander and 80-50 grit sandpaper with brake clean. Then use your brake bad of choice to prevent material contamination mix. - Brake pads (track pads) need high temperature to start bedding process of the brake pad itself. The resins in it need to be burned off.
