Disc Brake Rotor Swap-Out: TRW Edition
> Brake rotors – they're those spinning metal discs doing the hard yards every time you hit the picks. On a gutsy Honda like the Integra VTEC, VTiR, or Type-R, they cop a serious hammering. All that heat and stress can lead to warping, cracks, or just plain wearing out. Don't let dodgy rotors ruin your stopping mojo!
What Clued You In?
• Shaky brakes? Vibration in the pedal or steering wheel when you're slowing down.
• Noisy brakes? Squealing, grinding – sounds like a nightmare.
• Taking forever to stop? 'Soft' pedal got you worried?
• Rotors looking rough? Scratches, grooves, or weird colours?
WOF Worthy?
Nah, mate. If your brake rotors are buggered – warped, rooted, or just plain dangerous – you'll be walking away from the WOF empty-handed. They check those brakes closely, and anything that compromises your stopping power is a big no-no.

Skill Level: 6/10 (A good challenge)

Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, wheel wrench, brake piston compressor, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush... and maybe an impact driver if those rotor screws are being stubborn.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about cracking those wheel nuts, safety first! Always use axle stands when you've got the car jacked up – never trust a jack alone. Grab yourself some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean when dealing with brake dust, and a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away brake dust and grime from the new rotors and calipers - brake dust is nasty stuff! Don't forget some anti-seize grease for the caliper bolts to make the next brake job a breeze. And safety glasses are a no-brainer - you don't want brake dust in your eyes.
Bob's Two Cents
Here at CARFIX, we know how crucial good brakes are, especially on a performance machine like your Integra. Worn rotors don't just hurt your stopping power; they can also chew through new brake pads in no time. Replace those rotors when they start looking tired to keep your braking top-notch and stay safe out there. The TRW rotors are a top pick, known for quality and performance, and a perfect match for your Integra. Swing by Bob's Shop and let's sort out the perfect rotors for your Honda. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to yarn about your car woes. Head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
These rotors are the real deal for the HONDA INTEGRA VTEC (1993-2001), HONDA INTEGRA VTiR (1993-1999), and HONDA INTEGRA Type-R (1997-2001). Always double-check the specs and measurements against your car, as there can be sneaky differences even within the same model, especially between front and rear rotors and different trim levels.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB3191) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
