The "el cheapo" ebay black lug nuts I had, never really backed out on me, but the new R40 composites I have on there now, loosened up a tad bit after the first time I installed them. now I check them every so often and they stay in spec

theyre 13's all the way around. yes, stock AT brakes suck ass

Powder coat is holding up VERY well. After about 2 yrs, there are ZERO chips or scratches. The finish is still very glossy. just a few hairline swirls from cleaning and, what I believe to be, very slight stretch marks? from thermal stress? highly unnoticeable, unless u put your face in the wheel under bright light. very worth it.

where did you get the wheels powdercoated at?

G Boyz in bell gardens. But I believe they went out of business. They took too long anyway, they just took them somewhere else to get them done, but $300 for all four wheels was a great price for NBP color match. I heard a place called "velvet touch" comes highly recomended In 562 area.

beautiful love ROTORA BBK

simplyclean44

I need pads for my fc2 rotora in the rear... Same kit as yours... Do you know what size and what brand for the replacement ? I do not want to do rotora replacement pads.. A lot of break dust

I hate cars

It took a while to figure out what pad shape they used on my old front BBK. Rotors does not share the information like most others do. Look around on some of the scca forums or any auto-x road race board. If I remember right the fronts shared a brake pad shape with the Viper and quite a few others. You'll find alternatives it just might take a while. Do you have the H2 or H6 pads? If the pad is too aggressive and does not lay down a transfer layer, dust can be increased. This can happen when the rotors don't get hot enough to make a transfer layer. In other words there's a chance that driving the car harder can reduce dust.

I finally found out pads. I have h2 pads I believe. Which is the rp.02.1.155 (rotora number) cross ref to hawk hp180z.560 performance ceramic for $82 with free over night shipping!!!! Those fit. Same size everything. Lowwww dust. Great reviews

I think mine are h6** the higher performance ones

For what it's worth, get the pad shape number and you'll probably find a ton of pads that fit. You'll no longer have to cross reference, just google the pad shape. I think D608 is my Stoptech number. Once I figured it out I've found probably. 50 pad choices including regular pads from the auto parts store for cheap. Most Hawk products are average at best.

Ceramics are ok for low dust and being rotor friendly. They are not the greatest for high performance/high heat applications. If you can find a sintered pad they're literally the best of all worlds. The only downside is price. The ones I'm getting are $350 but they last forever, they're nice to the rotors, they're quiet, they don't require a break-in or transfer layer, they work just as good dead cold as they do hot, and their high temperature performance far surpasses any street and pretty much all race ceramic pads. Truly the only no compromise type of pad except for the price.

You'll know if they're H6 pads. They will squeak to the point of scaring people even if you have to brake from 70mph, not just low speed noise. They also eat rotors very quickly when used on the street. Some of that dust might be from your rotors.
