Stoptech Rotors & EBC Pad install! | With Electronic Parking Brake | MK7 Golf R

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Pads are biting well! Even though it's only been a little over 100 miles I can already tell they bite WAY harder then stock. A few more days of driving then I can finish up the bed in process!

[@miiiikee_]

Bryce Jordan Productions hope my reds work well for my driving! I don’t autox, but with more power comes great braking force lol

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I'm sure they will brotha! These is probably too extreme for me really but we'll see lol

[@FireTwo]

2 large bolts are 200nm 2 small calliper bolts are 35nm Don’t grease the back of pads Only the little slides and a small smear that’s it.

[@charlesjackson3092]

Glad to see some younger people working on there own vehicles still. A tip buy a c-clamp and use the old pad to compress the piston next time, you’ll have less chances of damaging the piston or seal.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I’m an aircraft mechanic, so i pretty much refuse to see the dealer unless its beyond my skill level. Ive had too many bad experiences with dealers to want to take it to them for everything, plus it saves me money and gives me something to do lol. That’s a great idea though, about to switch up my entire braking setup so that tip will come in handy!

Bryce Jordan Productions I used to be a crew chief in the Air Force and worked on F-16s and A-10 Warthogs during the first Gulf War. What do you work on? I started watching your videos to see what type of modifications are out there for my wife’s car “ Audi S3 “ since your car and hers are the mqd platform. I’m more of and off-road guy, I drive a 4Runner TRD Pro. I don’t trust anyone else with my vehicles either

[@BryceJordanProductions]

@@charlesjackson3092 That's awesome!! A bunch of the folks I work with here at Lockheed are prior 16 crew chiefs! I work the MQ-9 reaper, used to work both MQ-1s & 9s but we retired the 1s a few years back. I did my 6 and go out hopped right over to Lockheed in the same unit, basically just changed offices and attire.. couldn't be happier. I'm out in Africa right now working the birds for a few months. Definitely a huge advantage being a civilian over seas! At least on this airframe.

That's what's up!!! *Internet high five* hope to visit there one day. I hear y'all like burnouts 😁

[@lonewolfe7343]

Great video, I push the piston back in by putting the old pads together back to back (metal side), back in the piston side of the Caliper just loosely put the caliper back on and put a large screw driver between the pads and lever to push back caliper. Stops damaging the piston.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I like that idea! I'll be doing new pads soon I might just do that lol

[@zacharyjohnson5569]

C clamp and a brake pad to push pistons in.

[@cheknocksya]

Thanks for the video. I'm picking up EBC rotors and pads and after watching this I feel like I can do the install myself.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Awesome! It's not all that hard at all. They're been holding up extremely well on the track, the yellows are a little squeaky though but theyre not really for daily driving

[@TheJCG75]

Sir - the next time you do this, just turn your front wheels to full lock. Get in there with a very long breaker bar on the 21mm caliper holder bolts. I did this yesterday and they came off incredibly easy because of super leverage of the breaker bar. Easy peazy.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Good thinkin! I'll be upgrading brakes again soon 🤘

[@Alex35c]

If those rotor screws strip,get a manual impact driver and smack it hard and itll take the screw out. If not, get a 4 lb. Sledge and beat that rotor like it owes you money and itll snap the screw off since they are soft metal. The to keep the rotor from spinning, use a wheel hanger pin, super cheap and makes it easy to put the wheels back on

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Solid advice! Thanks buddy!

[@JeffersonHumber]

I think you can use a 17mm spanner for the counter hold on the front calipers

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Yeah, this is old old I’ve learned many things since then lol

[@charlesjackson3092]

Clean up the hub face to remove surface rust before you install new rotors

[@BryceJordanProductions]

For sure!

[@McKennaYcb1]

Super helpful, thanks for taking the time to do it.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

🤘🤘

[@Jvilleman400]

I’m about to do wheels, tires, lowering springs, pads and rotors so this video is helpful, thanx bro. Problem is I cannot find wheels I like lol

[@eriks5111]

You should secure the jackup. Never trust the hydraulic jackup !

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I forget sometimes but I usually do lol

[@scotchegg6422]

How are the pads holding up on the road, no rattling or squealing? I think you need to grease the actual caliper carrier as well to minimize and squealing of the pads

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Wouldn't be a bad idea, I've had these on for about 20k now no absurd noise or anything. They were a little squeaky in the cold at first but all good now

[@scotchegg6422]

Bryce Jordan Productions Those rotors look the business though 👍

[@winslow2795]

How were the EBC yellows for daily driving with noise and brake dust? Also, do remember if the 7R has a brake sensor? Nice video!

[@BryceJordanProductions]

It does have one brake sensor, they're good for daily and mild autocross.. don't really remember exactly on the dust I do think it's not much better then stock.

[@ParanaSlim52]

Nice video thanks. How long did it take to toast your stock rotors? What org sponsors the autox you race in?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

My stock rotors aren't all that bad actually, just wanted a little more asthetics and I needed new pads anyways, figured I'd do both at the same time before more aggressive pads rip the stockers up. Not really many sponsors for autox, a local dudes shop does along with Pepsi through him, then random others do throughout the season, local VW did last month so that was pretty cool.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Pads where shot after they introduced the stop box, I'd say 4-6 events they lasted pretty decently.

[@drewboggs3941]

Looks really good!

[@josearimateaderezendejunio8328]

These pads have the sensor wire ? brake light on dash ?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Yes they have a sensor. But you can get a delete for like 10$ on ECS if you rather not ever worry about it again

[@anutawatsonklin321]

Are you at clovis or cannon ? look like it

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Cannon yes sir

[@OfficiaAcidDesigns]

Hey guys its trey, i have a brake rotor replacement tomorrow

[@BryceJordanProductions]

You got this!

[@eddiemk7418]

Can you give us an update on the rotors/pads? I am looking into stop tech slotted rotors and EBC red stuff for my mk7 gti, but I seem to find more bad reviews than anything.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I've been just dandy for over 30k now probably with the yellows. Many track days and road trips, zero complaints on is38 power levels. Now that I make alot more they're not enough and will be upgrading soon. But I have nothing bad to say about the rotors with yellows

[@eddiemk7418]

@@BryceJordanProductions Thank you for the reply, I am stock right now and am planning on doing a full stage 2 build, but non-IS38, so I hope the red stuff will be sufficient.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

@@eddiemk7418 I'm sure they will be. Just make absolutely sure you follow the bed in procedure for the pads to a T. It's a long one!

[@dorkultra]

[@BryceJordanProductions]

👌👌🤘🤘

[@MarkCalica]

If you haven't still, add a stainless steel braid lines up front and the brakes feels so good. I still haven't done the rears yet

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Definitely on my to do list! I wanna do camber plates up front next, a little more front camber would help me alot on the track This mild brake setup is pretty nice with it honestly, it'll be real nice with lines and better fluid though no doubt

[@ChrisGreeceChris]

how good are yellow stuff? i think i might use them on my car 400bhp on a 312 brake disc... do u recommend them?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I'd say they're pretty decent, definitely better then stock but that's all I have to compare to.. I do wanna switch to a slightly more aggressive pad. I've heard that the isweep pads are pretty good

[@ChrisGreeceChris]

well whatever u do plz make sure tha pads u choose are approved for street use or else u are not going to stop at all as race pads need more heat to work

[@arronlowley5659]

Is it normal for your new discs and pads to make a bit of noise when turning the wheel after they're installed?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Is it Sandy sounding? Either way yes. New pads and rotors will always make some noise for a bit till their settled in

[@arronlowley5659]

That's the one mate, the wheel itself turns perfectly but yeah it sounded like if you were sanding

[@BryceJordanProductions]

@@arronlowley5659 yup give it a week or depending on how much you drive and stuff but it should clear up for the most part!

[@shuozhang2469]

Question: How long is your breaker bar? Thanks!

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Not very. I'd use my jack handle slid over my ratchet as a breaker bar lol

[@Zephieish]

I've seen so many videos of people changing pads with so much "meat" left on them. Is it a USA regulation / inspection thing? Certain mm required etc?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Depends on what state/county you live in. My county has no emissions or anything really.. you can drive around with turbos out the hood and a parachute on the back lol. For me though I just wanted an upgrade. The stockers are known to go quick and the fluid can boil on simple courses

[@JacesOwnWorld]

For most of us car enthusiasts, we change our brake pads out for a more aggressive one mostly because we just want a harder "bite" when it comes to braking. For my MK7 GTI application, I found out that my stock brakes (just base model GTI brakes, not PP) are sketchy under braking when Im getting on my car. The stock pads overheat very quickly, especially when its hot outside, and become almost useless. I'm IS38, and if I can't feel confident with my brakes slowing me down after doing 120+mph, then I know its time for a brake upgrade, and getting better brake pads aren't that expensive, so its something that I did, even if my OEM pads had "meat" on them still.

[@jbob7148]

You might want to invest in a set of quality jack stands. Working like that on a corner of your car with only a floor jack just makes me cringe. Edit: Seriously, I don't like to leave comments like this but seriously dude the longer I watched this video the more I couldn't believe it. You had both your legs straight out under the car with only a floor jack NOT SAFE. Begging to be a double amputee. For all of you people just starting to work on your cars. This is not how you do it. Even with quality jack stands its a good idea to stick a wheel under the frame because jack stands do fail.

[@scottyhcruz]

so are you suppose to open the caliper on obdeleven before putting in new pads?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Yeah you wanna do the obd11 stuff before you even pull the rear caliper off the car

[@scottyhcruz]

Ok and the fronts you don’t have to?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Nope, it's traditional like most other cars 🤙

[@arjaycrystal9123]

Did you by any chance weigh those rotors?

[@BryceJordanProductions]

I didn't. They're heavy as hell tho

[@DimaGT]

Do you do obd 11 for rear brakes once? I assume it opens both sides.

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Yessir it's been awhile but I do believe it opens both simultaneously when you use the app

[@DimaGT]

Thanks man. Proper build about the way. Love it.

[@BrianBorkowski]

How are these bakes with brake dust??

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Wouldn't say much better then OEM, they're meant for the track so they have some trade offs. Been like 25k on these now, still holding up just dandy. Over 20 track days no complaints

[@matthewclaxton1143]

Thanks for the video, really informative! Convinced me to hit the button on some Yellow Stuff pads + EBC discs for my Mk7. Can I ask which App you used to wind in the e Park Brake? I couldn't quite catch it in the video...

[@BryceJordanProductions]

Umm I don't remember exactly what it's called in obd11 but it's like rear parking brake release or something along that line, it'll be the only one regarding the rear brakes when you get to the apps screen. It's been a few months with the brakes and they're doing fantastic!! Little squeaky when it's cold out but other then that I can't complain at all

[@Inspector7I]

You should replace the carrier bolts. The bolts have stretched. They cant just keep stretching over and over. 147 ft/lbs is a lot of force, there's no good reason to remove these bolts...the break cleaner spray doesn't clean any better with the part off the car or on the car . LEAVE SOME SHIT ALONE. You don't remove an engine from the car to clean it....you spray some "shit"on it.
