Fl5 rotors

[ALwAyS4SaLe]

I can't speak to long-term rotor wear with the bronze bushings, but I do think they’re a great upgrade for the price.

I primarily bought them to help prevent the potential issue of uneven rear pad wear. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in brake pedal firmness.

I consider myself fairly sensitive to pedal feel, having had some close calls in the past and done quite a few brake flushes over the years. At the time of installation, I was on stock fluid and pads with around 4K miles on the car, and it felt comparable to doing a brake flush that cleared a lot of air from the rear with a race fluid like Castrol SRF. You can clearly see how flimsy the stock rubber bushings are once you remove them.

I will keep that in mind when I’m up. I just got into the platform. Just trying to see where some questionable reliability may come from.

Thanks for this good information I will do replacement on mine with the giro disc instead of paragon but will run power stop pad because I definitely don’t go to track mine is purely a daily driver. But also will do the WUNDERLADEN Racing rear caliper bronze bushings upgrade to have even pad wear.

When I got my recall done two weeks ago, Honda said my rear pads were pretty much finished at around 33k. I eventually swapped everything to ceramics and did my own work.

I did notice some slight uneven wear in the rear, nothing too major. Thankfully it was the perfect time to install the WR’s upgraded caliper bushings.

Despite no instructions, very easy install! Definitely a good upgrade from the OEM soft rubber bushings. Time will tell if these will help with the longevity of the pads/rotors, which I’m sure they will.

The Castrol brake fluid over the Motul RBF 660 I also want to upgrade the fluid and lines while in there kind of thing. What is your opinion in between the two if you can point us a little bit mine is daily I will see the difference in one fluid over the other? Thank you used Motul before I kind of happy but on the FL5 still on OEM fluid.

If you're only street driving, the OEM fluid and lines will be just fine. I haven’t run RBF 660 before, but I have used ATE 200 in other cars, and I boiled it quickly on track, so I jumped straight to SRF after that.

FCP Euro stocks RBF 600, RBF 660, and Castrol SRF, so you can take advantage of their lifetime replacement policy.

Castrol SRF has one of the highest wet boiling points which means it will retain high temp resistance even when moisture is introduced to the lines (which happens naturally over time). It will need to be bled less often while retaining the same pedal feel. When you get too much moisture in the system, the pedal will get soft faster, requiring more bleeds.

Quick OT - I bought Akebono break pads ond the front are Premium while the back are PRO ACT. Do they need to be the same, will it matter?
