Ahh...I plan on changing rotors and pads for the rear as well when I swap the front calipers which is why I was asking about the rear brakes.
My C8 has electric parking brake also but there's no special mode to put it in when doing rear brake work plus I don't think any of my previous...
I keep seeing videos of people using a tool to rotate/screw in the rear caliper... Is that necessary of can it just be pushed in like most every other caliper?
So does that mean that you don't have the PE calipers afterall?
I kept going down the rabbit hole and found the Mach-E forum thread that was mentioned before....They went down this same road a couple years back and it is absolutely, positive that the PE calipers, even though they look very...
Last time I drove up/down Pikes Peak was over 10yrs ago in my Jeep LJ on 35's.....Had to come down in L and stop A LOT!! I'd love to run up and down it in my C8....On an open weekend!
It's all good because the also have the FOMOCO marking as well.
The ONLY question left is whether both calipers, Red and unpainted are actually the same and will accept either rotor sizes (385mm or 362mm).
I've got both sets queued up and ready to buy. I really want the bigger ones but I...
Does anyone know what the correct height the two adjustable factory hood dampers need to be? I've been trying to adjust them but can't seem to find the right height but also don't really know exactly what they're supposed to do...Just provide a resting place for the hood or apply pressure for...
have you been able to tell any actual difference between the performance package rotors and the Non-performance, because I haven't. It seems like they are both compatible with either 362 or 385mm rotors....
You just saved me a whole buncha time and headache!! I have those exact same wheels and plan to use them for winter.
Two questions:
1. are you planning on running 362mm or 385mm rotors???
2. Is it even possible to run the bigger rotors?
I did a ton of internet research, video watching with headsets ond what not and decided the Thermal R&D full catback w/downturn was what sounded the best to me. At the first start up after the install I knew instantly it wasn't for me. Took a couple runs up and down the road and that confirmed...
I only plan to run the 18's as my winter wheels. I'm ordering a set of 20's pretty soon. The ONLY other thing to figure out is whether both sizes of rotors fit. If they do, i'll probably order the larger one just because i can but if not its not a deal breaker.
Waiting to hear back from one...
THIS..... or maybe the mounting ears on the caliper are actually longer on the LKxx calipers.
@Jtitzer56 do you think a bigger rotor would have fit with your caliper?
This is true, I've seen both 362mm and 385mm being discussed here. So I went down the rabbit hole this morning....
***Keep in mind that the part numbers I reference are from the white sticker affixed to the caliper itself***
This is the breakdown of what I've been able to figure:
The Mach-e...
I like this set-up a lot!! Did you order your wheels online? If so, can you share the source?
BTW, I have a 2021 C8 HTC! I've done a couple videos with Misha on the Nordeschliefe, here's a link to the first one. You can just search "misha c8" on YT and see the others.....The car is a weapon...
Mind sharing where you ordered your calipers? Also, what about your rotor and pad set-up?
I have a set of the focus rs calipers that FastMaverick was selling but unfortunately he disappeared before completing the required adapter for those so I'm stuck with some expensive paperweights. and As...
Hi, just curious who you ordered your wheels through. I'm stationed overseas and generally deal with Discount Tire but they have for whatever reason blocked access(as far as i can tell) to IP's that originate from outside CONUS. I guess I could use a VPN but if you have someone already...
I'm pretty sure I've seen Discount Tire and possibly a few others posting or at the least, liking posts. If you're on here, please reach out to me. I'm stationed in Germany so shipping would need to be via USPS.
I'm looking for a 20" to 22" wheel set-up. I have a 2023 Ecoboost AWD Lariat...
How were you able to install the o2 Sensor? We can't seem to figure out how people are doing it on the Fast Mav Downpipe since there doesn't seem to be any room between the DP and the heat shroud....
