As of last night when arriving into my single car garage at home at low speed I heard a screeching sound coming from the front brakes, and again this am on way into work. The sound went away yes, and I took it to Acura where a tech and S/A did a visual out front and seems to be fine. I did set...
Just to update this thread, I ended up getting new rear pads and had rear rotors resurfaced at Acura $430 later (first week of December) and ever since then I only used the E Brake button a couple of times a week. I either leave the car in neutral on LEVEL ground or engage the shifter into 2nd...
Awesome car, S2K. I owned an AP2 when it was new in 2005. I wasn’t too keen on the newer 2006 & up w their updated DBW shifters. And took a liking to the earlier AP1 but never drove one.
Here is a simple idea for everyone to add longenvity of their rear pads and rotors ... what if we simply engage the manual in any gear on a LEVEL ground when parking the ITS without engaging the EPB button ?
No wonder why I had to replace my rear pads so quickly on my 24 ITS (at 11700 miles last week). I don’t let the brakes cool down when sitting at idle & I always engage the EPB then leave the car in 2nd gear when parked. It’s a daily car for me, no track time whatsoever. I will try this from here...
Sorry to hear about your friend. One of my favorite colors, my local dealer received one this week 25 model same color. Was very tempted to trade considering I am having new rear pads installed at 11700 miles and resurfacing the rotors. The rears go quick on these cars I read.
Just to bump this thread, I will be ordering a new set of tires late December into early January ... my rear pads will be getting replaced at the dealer on Weds. I am down to 2mm of rear pads (11600 miles). Any alterantives to the Michelins and any sales popping up anyone know about ?
Well I had them rotate the tires. Now I have more rubber up front & the rear a lot less. So I plan to do it a bit early. It’s a daily driver really. Stock tires yes & will prob go w the same ones unless I opt for an all season tire ? I’m guessing between rear pads, resurface rear rotors. Tires...
Funny i stumbled upon this thread today. I was just at the dealer yesterday for a screw removal in rear tire. I had all 4 tires rotated and I’m at 11600 miles roughly. One of the sr techs there pointed out my rear pads are running a little thin. Recommended to get new rear pads in next few 1000...
