Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes of your Galant Fortis or Lancer EVO X's braking setup. Over time, they cop a beating from friction and heat, which can lead to warping, corrosion, and seriously reduced stopping power – especially if you drive it hard like it was designed to be driven.
Spotting the Trouble Signs
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you hit the brakes
• Feeling a judder or vibration through the pedal
• Taking way longer to pull up than usual
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or rusty as hell
• Brake pads wearing unevenly – not ideal!
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or rooted brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack, axle stands, wheel brace, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, a little prep goes a long way. First up, safety is paramount – never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack! Use proper axle stands, yeah? Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean, and safety glasses to protect your peepers from brake dust. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of stubborn carbon dust. Finally, a smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep everything moving smoothly for years to come.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake rotors is a no-brainer for keeping your braking in top condition. The RDA rotor is a solid choice, but CARFIX stocks plenty of options to suit your budget and driving style. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn – he'll help you find the perfect rotors for your ride!
Fitment Notes
Double-check that your new rotors are the right fit for your specific Galant Fortis or Lancer EVO X model and year. Brake setups can vary, so it pays to be sure. Always replace rotors in pairs to keep your braking balanced and predictable. Bob's the man to sort you out with the right fitment - go see him!

🧰 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.
