What are the standard brakes like for fast road and track use?
Ive heard that too..JiB said:TBH 4 pot vented Brembo's, don't seem to stop as well as you'd think.....
...I thought the JDM '98 DC2's brakes were better
AdrianK said:the pedal on mine goes down a bit then becomes extremely stiff such that i cant really apply any more pressure.
They dont seem all that good to me, am i just a weekling, or is there possibly something up?
im the opposite, my dc2 brakes were good, but my dc5 ones i find are much superiordan the man said:Ill agree with some above.
BEST brakes ever for me was my DC2 UK...mint. awsome bite, feel and no fade.
Had good hopes for DC5 brembos but not so :cry: :cry:
i did manage to get the ABS to come on pullling to a stop when really hitting the brakes!C&S Evo7 said:Some interesting comments there, all those whose pedal goes down then gets very hard, you should consider getting them looked at but it depends on what your intentions are for your cars, for normal road use this is prob fine but for prolonged track work then prob not.
Are you able to get the abs to come on if you brake extremely heavily?
As far as i know the car had new front pads fitted about 2 months ago, so i assume the fluid etc.. was changed then aswell?C&S Evo7 said:if not then theres a problem, maybe air maybe glazed discs/pads etc.
I currently use std discs and honda pads for the road as they give a good combination of power and feel.
For Time Attack i use a slotted j's Racing disc with Ferodo DS3000 pads and haven't had problems so far, the abs was comming on quite alot due to my tyres but thats all. I swap them after the events.
One of Toms cars also runs with the std calipers and ds3000's at the moment and is leading the championship.
Upgrade the parts i.e fluid, hoses, pads, discs but more importantly make sure the system is bled properly and discs/pads are bedded in.
