: removing shims/washers on front brake to make them float wizard racing 01-20-2003, 03:20 PM anyone know how to remove the washer/shims from the fron brake rotors to give them a more floating effect? This was done on the 1991 gsxr i used to own but i didnt do them. Id like to do it to my 92 anyone have any advise? 99SVT Lite-nin 01-20-2003, 03:46 PM My old 97 had them on one set of wheels. When I first got them I was like, I think this things are bad, look a them they move too much. images/icons/blush.gif . I'd say just get you a small screw driver and start prying them off. wizard racing 01-21-2003, 08:11 AM ah yea brute force good idea images/icons/smile.gif davegsxrold929r 01-21-2003, 08:47 AM i believe brute force is what adam [PDG] does to his ... or just flatten them and leave them in place... 1Kdude 01-21-2003, 06:56 PM I did this on my EBC race rotors, they told me it was fine to do this and I've had no problems in 1000's of miles. Just pry off the clip ring holding the button on, and remove the wave washer, put clip ring back on. I don't know about the stock rotors, but they are probably similar. Tells us how this turns out if you do it. WebCrush 01-21-2003, 07:16 PM yup, i flattened out the spring washers on my all my sets of EBC rotors, but if you're asking about stock rotors, i have no idea how to help. bmfgsxr 12-04-2003, 09:12 AM just figured i would bump this up since it was the oldest living thread in this forum.

My EBC something-lites with no wave washers wore out the aluminum carriers and made quite a racket with alot of slop. The EBC guys gave me a very good price on a replacement set of rotors/carriers with 1 mm think washers to replace the wave ones, which I installed. So far so good. I am not sure how safe no washers at all is in the long run. wizard racing 12-05-2003, 07:00 PM PDG said: bmfgsxr said: just figured i would bump this up since it was the oldest living thread in this forum. i think you meant the thread starter was the oldest living racer in this forum. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif oh Dam i was wondering what the hell brought this to the front.
