(again, i can do a full rotor/pad swap in my sleep probably, so it's just a matter of repeatitiveness

i have one of those 4 way adjustable ones, works like a champ, again, my car nearly lives on 4 stands, so i just slide under, and go at it.
Longest process for me, is jacking up the car and pulling the wheels.

nice find.
i'll never be using superblue agian though, other than the consistant boiling ( just got used to it), it's a PITA to flush. Tried to flush my motul through, the superblue wasn't having any of that. so i got some valvoline high temp stuff (robi reccommended) for flushing, and just run motul now
great device though, i love mine.

mitsu ducts, no splash plate.
Seems like with my new PF front rotors (vaned) and the splash guard off, i didn't boil them last time at homestead, again, i wasn't super pushing the car. And homestead is rather open, allowing lots of air to flow, good speeds = good flowing air.
It was at sebring that i came in after a moderate session on the short course, and somebody pyro'd my calipers at 640/550 front, and 400-450 or so rear.
Running endless CCR's. 0 pad fade, no hint of anything that i'm boiling it. But knowing the temp my calipers are, and the fact that the super blue when flushed is a grey, instead of a blue, that tells me it boiled.
...I do brake fairly late and fairly hard though

then switched to the vavoline stuff (perfectly clear) and finally got rid of all the blue.
When i flushed the motul with the super blue, it was easy, night and day, just came out gold, gold gold, BLUE!, good, you're done.
Getting it out was a whole nother story

Yes, again, last time out was my first time doing it, and with the combo of that and the upgraded rotors, it made a difference.

Thanks for the heads up guys! Hopefully I won't boil the blue my first time out in the EVO this weekend.
