I want to change my 185mm rear rotor for my juicy 3s to a 160mm rotor, I was just wondering If its just these two parts i need.

Do i need Loctite for the Torx screws ?

    Looks good to me. The new bracket should come with screws, they are normally patchlocked with nylon or pre-encapsulated Loctite.

    If you have to re-use the caliper screws, if they are nylon patched no problem, if they are Loctite coated you can re-apply from a bottle.

    Just wondering why ?

    Mainly just me being fussy and wanting the smaller rear rotor so it looks neater with the hose and frame. Im also hoping the 160mm will take away some of the power as i can lock my rear wheel extremely easy.
