Description
Swapping Out Your EVO's Brake Rotors — RDA Edition
> Those disc brake rotors are dead important for your Mitsubishi Lancer EVO. They're what the brake pads grip onto to slow you down. If you're giving your EVO a bit of stick, you'll need decent rotors to keep things safe.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brake pedal feels like it's got the shakes when you brake.
• Brakes are making a racket, like a banshee.
• Rotors look like they've been through a war zone.
• Takes longer to pull up than it used to.
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly, like your tires haven't been rotated in years.
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be thick enough and free from major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (if necessary).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, listen up, 'cause safety first, yeah? Before you even think about touching those brakes, grab yourself some Brake Cleaner. Give everything a good blast to get rid of that brake dust – nasty stuff, that. And don't forget a can of anti-seize caliper grease for the threads and contact points; it'll make your life easier next time around.
Now, for your own good, get some safety glasses and Nitrile Gloves. No one wants brake dust in their eyes or grease permanently etched into their skin, right? Trust me, a few bucks spent now saves you a whole lot of grief later.

🧰 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.
