How long has it been since you bought your SVX now?
I"ve had it for about 6 months now. It's doing well, but doesn't like to start. It does, but has trouble with it

Unless one's playing "games" with the parking brake, how on earth is it possible to wear them drummy liners out?

Ron.
I'm not sure, but I did replace all of the brake pads. And it still squeaks when I stop. hahah At least it stopped shaking!

I know this subject was pretty dead for awhile but I have been looking at these rotors on ebay and wanted to know how everything is going with the people that have them so far.

thanks

I got the 'other' ebay rotor deal - from rotors direct. It doesn't specify on the i-rotors ebay page but the rotors direct promises brembo or bradi rotors. So far they have been great. I ended up with bradi - I think beav got brembo. Zinc plating has held up well but it isn't shiny like the i-rotors look, it is more of a matte finish.

I've got the iRotors, but have only put the fronts on so far, as I'm trying to also rebuild the calipers when I do the swap and currently don't have the rear seals yet. They seem fine and plenty capable as far as stopping power is concerned, but are a bit noisy under braking with the slots. If I had it to do over again, I would've just gotten the normal plated rotors instead.

I got the slotted iRotors. It took pretty much all day to put them on, I'm not all that mechanically inclined I guess. I also painted the calipers with heat resistant paint (engine paint). The difference is phenomenal! Very smooth. (My originals were warped - or something.) Very powerful. Very quiet. Very shiny. Very happy.

I'd get the same ones again.

Deja,

Still squeaking? Mine squeaked and chattered for the first few stops - probably due to getting a little brake fluid on the pucks or something. Now they're completely quiet.
