Dnk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd get your wheel balance checked first just to rule that out. I've always used stock uk spec discs and pads and have always had great brakes, even on track. Also if it's not been changed in the last couple of years i'd be inclined to do a brake fluid change. I use Motul RBF600 fluid which is great on track or rd. A vaccum bleeder is the best way to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 When you change the discs i'd also recommend popping the pads out the calipers and give them a good clean with brake cleaner and a soft brush to see what the outer seals look like. Maybe even splash out and fit new pads if your feeling flush The seals could very well be on their last legs and if they split or get a hole in them then you will get the pistons seizing in the calipers and have a much bigger costlier job to do to put them right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Good practice to change the pads if you are discs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yes agreed but if you have fairly new pads you can use some sand paper on a flat surface and rub the pads flat and they will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaz2010 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Will check to see how bad the pads are when I do them on Wednesday see if there salvageable if not I'll get new pads as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to have a very good look at the outer seals, if their the originals then i'd be changing them as they wont last much longer before they fail and split. I'd be checking both fronts and rears, new calipers are approx £200 each ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
