Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your HSV's disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial – they're what your brake pads grip to slow you down. Over time, especially with the demands of a high-performance vehicle like yours, they can wear, warp, or even crack from all the heat and friction. Let's get those sorted!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brake pedal's got the shakes or vibrates when you brake
• Hear squealing or grinding? Not good!
• Taking longer to stop than it used to
• Can see cracks or deep grooves on the rotor
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a dead cert for WOF failure here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and without cracks to pass the test. No surprises there.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper tool.
