    Default Question about rear rotors

    Just a quick question, just wondering if what i have heard is correct.. if rotors on integras, civics, and del sols are all the same? (9.5") And the Same with pads are they all the same?

    Also, how difficult is it to change the rear rotors?

    Mine crapped out on me tonight on the way home...

    true as long as its not a type r. and it is very easy to change. you may need an impact driver to get the screws out if they have not been replaced.

    Well when i would go into reverse my brakes would make a sound which i assumed was the brakes. The other day I got some work done at mahdavi and they mentioned that i needed new pads, and that i may need new rotors if there's vibration upon braking (which there was). And now when i brake, and come to a stop, there's a terrible scraping noise, and my rotors look worn and rashed on the edges.

    All this is on the rear rotors. I am replacing all pads tomorrow, and was just wondering how difficult and time consuming it is to change the rear rotors, and which ones to get.

    the scraping noise is because u need to pads but i would change the rotors too. you need a impact drive for those stubbord screws.

    once you pull the brake caliper off you can remove the rotor
