You should be good to go for a while after that stuff is done, Justn. 
I did my TB/WP/spark plugs/etc earlier this year at 103k (I'm at 111k now) and changed my oil/rotated tires last week.
Front and rear pads/rotors done at 91k
New tires at 86-ish k
That's all I've got so far.

I get a slight driveline vibration in between 20-25 mph and only when accelerating so I think I've got a bad axle too. My outer CV boot is torn as well. Think I'm going with the Advance Auto lifetime warranty axles.
I also have a brake noise. My pads were replaced when I bought the car though. I would assume they lubed everything up properly but who knows. Listen to the very beginning of this video.
105k service, clutch/flywheel replacement, front/rear main seals, cam seals, are all being done the week of October 14th. My excelerate 75 durometer motor mounts are also in and waiting to be installed when I find some time.

also was it a cold stop in the video? sounded like it....do the brakes make the same noise when they are hot?
10-07-2013, 10:06 AM
Nah, that wasn't a cold stop. We drove out into the country and found an open road to let er run free. It happens during pretty much all parking lot braking regardless of whether it's cold or not (car or weather). Street stops it doesn't seem to happen as often. It's when the car is going slow and coming to a stop.

needs lube
10-07-2013, 10:16 AM
^agree
grease the slide pins, but mainly you'll want to grease anything that slides back and forth. Clean with with a little papertowel, then add some graphite lube to the upper and lower of the brembo pad slides, in addition to a dab all around the parts that touch the slides. Should shut it right up.

COLD STOP = when you can touch your rotors without loosing a finger....1st stop in the morning types....
if you have aggressive pads, they will make that sound until they are warmed up...I usually ride my brakes until I get out of my neighborhood...the first few stops for me have little bite and some squealing....but when warmed up, it stops on a dime.....

That sounds like a recipe for early warpage, Anil.
Then again, I am ignorant on some things.

Jeremy...am running aggressive pads which need to be warmed up before they get to "optimal" operating temps...
but I have been running these rotors since 100K miles (~96,xxx) and am pretty sure they have served their purpose....I will be taking everything off today/tomorrow and doing a brake flush....will measure the thickness on the rotor to find out about the life left as well....am 100% sure the rotors are not warped

Don't get me wrong. They have treated me well too. I do get some squeaks when braking at ultra low speeds though. But one can only ask so much of 'racing' pads.
Edit: Oh and great, two days after ignoring it gets reversed because you're a moderator. What a fucking joke.

Maj, bring up a new topic homie

Burning Brakes
Chad,
When you said the DDM Tuning bulbs colour shifted, did they move towards a more pure white?
Just installed them and I love the colour, just gotta wait to see the output during the night

I can't speak for DDM D2S bulbs. But if they shift much at all I imagine it will be in the yellow direction, not blue.
10-07-2013, 01:03 PM
10-07-2013, 01:04 PM
DDM D2S blue to purple shift over the course of 4 years though. At least that's my experience.
Chad, I ain't even mad no mo. New week, fresh slate.
