Nothing crazy this time.
changed the rear rotors to the Premium size.
Changed pads to hawks DTC60/30
Added steel Brake lines
Flushed the brake fluid and put SFR
and finally got the car balanced. Achieved a cross weight of 50/50 !!!
On this one and another source it is said that those counterweights are there to dampen vibration (not trying to bring back the pad vibration drama we just got over from last week)
???
Found my own answer just a few min Later. It seems, based in what I found that is expected that the Hawks and many other pads do not have counterweights and that is ok.
There is a video here.
Question: the counterweight on each front pad is not present on the replacement DTC 60 pad. Just wanted to be sure that is expected and ok.
I looked I. The forum could not find an answer. Thanks
Every time I write something in this forum I know I’m gonna get burned but here goes nothing.
this is what I’ve been doing to my Supra today
The elements:
Quick release steering wheel from 777 (kudos and will be recognizing their sponsorhip)
Steering wheel phone mount by RS Pro

I like to strip and solder wires in the cars, but for an inside the cabin wire, the tap is probably safe.
This is not like vampire clamping a wire under the fender for a third stop. In that case I strip, solder, cover with liquid electrical tape and then shrink tube.
Probably an overkill, but...
Me…. Who has NEVER bed brake pads, Reading all this talk about rotors and pads… while installing a used set of 345 mm rear rotors and calipers and fitting new Hawk DTCs 60 and 30s front and rear.
New info: On the 2024 model there are no yellow-black / yellow-white twisted cable pairs. ?.
I guess I’m gonna have to tap every single cable pair in this bundle. ?
Yeah!
Will be there this next weekend.
Look for the biggest noob on the track! The goal is to keep the car off the walls and the grass!
By the way, I looked at my best time in homestead and I can tell you that you would lap me by the 4th time we go around the circuit ???
To me, working my hands doing stuff is benefit enough. Although I take this car to the track, I’m not chasing shaving tenths of seconds with everything, (my engine is stock), and when I go to the track I just plan to have fun for a couple of days here and there.
In the era of internet...
This is a Pre-production run. They are gonna go for about 1000.
quality is too notch. Every side has 2 pieces and they go very well with each other.
I was able to install them without instructions, as of now there are none.
I will post a YouTube with the install process
Does not allow...
Sorry. Misunderstanding. I already got a set. Paid $600 with shipping included - for reference in the future.
thanks though. A friend of mine is on the market for a set will let him know.
