Good Breaks = Pulled Muscle

[davidburke]

So.. I was cruising down the m6 this morning with cruise control on and absolutely nothing in front of me and some W**Ker decides to pull straight in front of me doing at least 20mph slower, I had litterally slam on to avoid going up his arse and in doing so jerked a muscle in my back... Least i know my breaks are good haha

Moan Over!! :jase:

i bet those braided lines must have helped, lol

good to hear you didnt go into him.

 

[davidburke]

Must of.. I would rather cripple myself than the car lol

I think next month I will invest in some grooved discs.. and a set of recaros maybe?

 

[GrumpyTwig]

Scrap the discs get some better pads if you havent already.

 

[davidburke]

renault pads atm, i think for what i use the car they are sufficient, if i ever decided to put it on the track i'll get some pads just for the occassion

 

[RalphyBMW]

I disagree, grooved discs are where its at. Just using standard pads and they won't fade.

 

[Richy_Boy]

^ I disagree.. groove and/or dimpled discs are pointless on anything other than a dedicated track car. I knew someone who used to enter Time Attack competitions with (bigger) plain discs - never had any problems. It's all about the pad material and what tempreture range it's designed to work best at.

Change both!! lol.

I'm gonna play the which pad is better card now lol

The Brembos are fantastic, I've done a similar thing to my dad when he was in the passenger seat, I slammed on and he didn't expect them to bite as hard as they did and thought his head was coming off!!! Best brakes I've ever had on any car by a long way.

And for the argument... OEM Pads & Discs, with uprated fluid (Millers Race 300). Never had fade issues on track and I've not even fitted my HEL's yet.

 

[Gandy]

I'm gonna invest in some new pads, HELS and fluid soon, the brakes arn't as immediate as i'd like atm

 

[Willis]

When I first got mine they weren't quite as hardcore as I'd expected but refreshing everything (front & rear) made a huge difference.

Might be time to place an order with Camskill once payday rolls around lol
