Appreciation of rant appreciation appreciated!

 

come on he is a driving god, he brakes so hard his mate saw flames shooting out from his discs..............

 

They only flamed on the pf pads & brembo discs. My ebc grooved discs with yellowstuff pads didnt spark just give fade and my cheap black diamonds predators with oe discs are no worse if im honest.

 

All I can say is they get hot enough to fade,on 3 different pad & disc setup.irrelevant of whos fitted them.. I've changed engines,gearboxes,turbos on more than one impreza so a brake set is a miner regardless of your thoughts!

 

Thats right! Im only saying what they told me

 

All im saying is im getting fade somehow on various pad & discs and if they dont get fade on subaru 4pots round track then they dont brake as hard as me. Not trying to be anything that im not (like the stig) just telling how it is

 

jesus grow up, if you are driving fast enough on a public road to get flames(which is utter crap) and brake fade so often its an issue, you really need to have a word with yourself and think of the consequences of what will happen when it all goes wrong and you kill someone.

 

I used to get **** loads of fade on my old subaru 4 pots (on the road) because they are a terrible caliper, irrespective of my disc and pad choice! Not had an once of fade on my cheap Brembo's. (Which I know now your not interested in).

Maybe you should upgrade your calipers?

Anyone got any suggestions?

 

i dunno how about d2/ksports................

make sure they are the 356mm as i heard the 359.99mm ones dont work as well,
once when racing me mate dave round maccyds car park, he braked so hard the whole car park ruffled up like a carpet and a 65 foot flame shot out his halfrauds multi fit alloy, its a true story bruv.

 

In all fairness to you Jim, you're not getting any threads locked on Scoobynet like the last Jimmy we had on here!

 

I used 4pots, godspeed discs and DS2500's on my old RA for 9 months for road and 6 trackdays.....They work pefect! .......Well, until a disc cracked.. lol

 

Word up Bruv, your breadrin sounds da dogs danglies innit yo!

I once braked so hard I melted the tarmac in sheets of flames!!!! aiii

 

Drilled discs were they?

 

thats alot of pads and discs to get through ..... yet in the other thread you said youve never changed the fluid?????

 

As a novice modder I'd be gutted to spend big money on wat I was to think bigger brakes. Then to find the piston surface area are the same as what I'd removed.. Rrrrrrrr

So if I was to do it.........

No one mentioned tarox??

 

Nah obviously got a bit hot once or twice..lol

My point being pad/disc combo makes a big difference, people talk about D2/ksport but they are **** witth the standard pad...

Sounds to me the OP needs to learn to drive if he's that heavy on the brakes

 

or checked they actually operate correctly and id be a little worried about using brakes that according to the guy who he keeps racing around town keep catching fire..........

 

Can some one let me know if the k sport caliper is slimmer than the brembo caliper?
As i dont want to use spacers to clear me grids.
Thanks
Lofty

 

yes and quite a bit too

 

Cheers tubs
Will get saving for a set then

 

While this thread has been going on he's missed AP 6 pots in the for sale section @ £900 with good discs and pads.

What a plum.

 

What size were they Ditch and what wheel would they fit under???

On a serious note, someone had a pair of 8 pot k-sport's with 360mm discs and pads for 5x100 fitment on Facebook last week for £400 + £40 delivery. Not sure if they sold. Subaru swap shop. BARGAIN!!!!!

 

Yes but were they flame retardent?

 

So will sti brembos fit under my standard blob WRX 17 inch wheels?

 

No.SJ.

Thanks

 

No again, but AP 4 pots will.

 

Tubby im not driving round back streets like a mad man mate but I do get alot of opportunity to have to have a tear where I live and not worth having a subaru in my eyes unless you use it for what it is,which I do and where I have more power than standard the brakes struggle. I dont know why it used to sparkes and occasionally little flames (as far as I've been told,only saying what people told me) all I can think is it was a way too aggressive pad for discs

 

i disagree.

if you are having brake fade on numerous occasions you are either driving like an idiot or your brakes are knackered.

nothing to do with disc and pad combo.
