keithorrell Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've gone too long on my rear brakes on bmy 96 RT and need to replace the disc. Is there a good lower cost replacement to the OEM disc? $362 is about the cheapest I've found on the oem. thks, Keith Link to comment

themagicone Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I just bought that one and worked great. Make sure to heat up the two retaining bolt that hold it to the hub. Also heat the 5 bolts that hold the rotor to the holder. Link to comment
NonComp Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I had an EBC rotor installed last year. Works fine and cheaper. I ended up stripping out the two bolts that hold the disk on, even with heating, so be careful. Took the dealer an hour to drill them out. Link to comment
keithorrell Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Do you know what model # the EBC rotor is? Thanks to all for the advice on heating the bolts. Keith Link to comment
smiller Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Do you know what model # the EBC rotor is? The EBC p/n for the 1100RT rear rotor was MD653 when I bought one a few years ago. It has been holding up quite well, very satisfied with the quality. Link to comment
