  • Acura Rsx S Brake Install Encourage The Rotor To Come Off
    8. The rotor might not want to come off... beat it with a hammer - be careful not to hit your wheel studs.

After the Install:

The EBC Ulitmax sport rotors and Red Stuff Pads grip hard; after letting all the brake components settle in I really went out and put these brakes to the test. The initial bite I felt when I got on the brakes was extremely impressive; the warmer the pads got the harder the brakes gripped. On top of that I have yet to hear any noise out of the red stuff pads. 2 big, greasy-Italian thumbs up EBC!
