[QUOTE=blkaudi98;7530660]i bought a fairly expensive order from JHM, installed everything and i am having problems with the new parts

I guess “expensive order” is a relative term.

[QUOTE=blkaudi98;7530667]Front and rear rotors, hawk pads, oil change kit, brake fluid.
[/quote]
446$ + taxes give or take for the OEM brake disc and hawk pads and brake oil
80$ for the oil change kit

I doubt he was having problems with the oil change kit.

As for the rest of the “expensive” order, If i remember to replace the brakes on 4 corners its in or around 1200$ (CAD)

As for his problems

My money is on improper bedding. Hope we get to hear what finally went wrong.

#237

its funny that its jhm’s fault lol

#238

Not improper bleeding. It wouldn’t move over to the other side.

I’m betting he is having issues bedding them in. I think the JHM rotors arhat der than stock or something, because it takes a lot of work to get the completely bed in.

My money says a few more hard 70-5 stops fixes his issue

#239

he bought OEM rotors not JHM

#240

Who makes the OEM rotors JHM sells?

#241

ohhh. I think they sell the legit OEM ones from Audi. Never seen them so I’m just guessing. Pretty sure Centric makes the OEM’s for Audi.

#242

k So its not the same guys who make the LW rotors that also make an OE type for them then?

#243

dude…oem means oem. .

#244

OEM IS OEM … That being said people get a bit confused between the terms OEM and OEM fitment and how to differentiate between the 2.

In case you forgot OEM means Originial Equipment Manufacturer.

Do JHM “OEM” rotors come from an actual dealership or the company that makes the rotors for audi? If yes they are OEM

If not they are “OEM FITMENT” meaning they are made according to OEM specs, but are not actually OEM.

OEM fitment disc’s might be made to the exact same size, but not the same materials or compound. These possible “OEM fitments” might be harder to bed in then normal disc’s.

#245

they are not made by the same company that makes their lw rotors. More clear?

thanks for telling me what oem means. Next tell me what am and pm mean.

#246

looks like the quattrofailers got together and planned a little anti jhm/pro AMD mini assault on audizine lol. Smoothe guys…nobody can tell your motives!

lol. Nobody respond to the thread! Just let it die

#248

I’m not gunna lie, I haven’t seen a group of people talk so much shit than the ones on here. it’s pretty crazy to be honest!

#249

you mad brah?

#250

Naa was thinking about buying a V8 and proving to all other cars how sick my. 3rd gear was! That’ll show em!!!

#251

awwwww 3’rd gear envy… cute

#252

The old school b5 guys could talk some legitimate smack. These new guys like sexican are just tired and come up with nothing…probably doesn’t even know the third gear story.

Where’s that timeslip anyway?

#253

I think the 3rd gear story was before my time as well, anyone care to fill me in. I have heard about it so many times and never understood

#254

Haha I’ve been around for probably longer than most (running on 10 years now in the Audi scene).

Can’t really race in the rain. Tracks are closed. Just waiting on a nice day here. WA sucks, everything is always green and rains all the time. Even when the weather forecast says SUN, just means “chance of snow”. I think this I the only state that can see 4 seasons during any of the 4 seasons.

#255

when the B6 S4 was relatively new, some douche bought one then was telling everyone about his ‘kills’. Claimed that he raced a Ferrari (355 I think) and lost but when they raced in 3rd gear, he pulled hard. Then the moron went on and on about 3rd gear being like a secret weapon yada yada yada. Then another guy did the same, and it spawned a pretty tame by today’s standards flamefest with B5 S4 guys chiming in (because he mentioned beating a couple of B5s).

The B5 guys, hating the new car because it was well, not a B5, jumped on this opportunity to make fun of the B6 owner and use him as a poster boy for the entire B6 scene. This despite the fact the guys was never really on the forums and never really posted again.

Oddly enough the guy owned his car for like 5 minutes and moved on, yet they still reference this as if it is still relevant and/or funny. They reference it like anyone else even mentions third gear on the 4.2 side of the forums. They don’t.

Remember this was back in the day when the B6 had no real mods…other than APR/GIAC tunes and 2.25" exhaust, both of which made, as near as makes no difference, zero gains over stock, so it was easy to make fun of the platform. The B5 guys were so used to picking up 100 wtq and 70 whp from tune and piggies that the B6 was a joke as far as ‘tunability’ was concerned (even though the stock B6 would beat most stage II cars lol).

Fast forward a few years and the B5 guys love to reference it. It’s funny because you hear B5 S4 guys reference the third gear thing almost as often as you hear them mention that a stage II B5 is faster than any B6/7 S4 with exhaust/tune etc. It’s just the standard forum lore…you hear something and then hear it repeated over and over. Audiworld did a ‘test’ of a stage 0 b5, stage 1 b5, stage 2 b5 and a stock B6 when the B6 came out. The guys who ran the test ALL owned B5 S4s and were classic B6 hating trolls. Not surprisingly the B6 lost badly to everything but the stock B5. If you search the internet for races between B6/7 S4s and stage 1 or 2 B5 S4s you’ll see that the 4.2 car almost always kills the B5. Of course they never reference the facts…just the forum lore.
