What’s up guys I promise this thread won’t be as stupid as the last. I was wondering, has anyone w/o BB upgraded their brakes, and what result have they had? I kept the same calipers and went with stop-tech all the way around, SBL and D&S I also upgraded the fluid. I ask because the other day I was on RT 123 and brought the car up to speed then tried to stop, I experienced the worst brake fade in the world, even had to run the light because of it. The pads I’m using are EBCs. (This is stopping from about 120-125 mph.) Does any one have any suggestions?

 

Dont drive so fast and expect to stop on a dime!!

 

Were you racing somebody?

 

Z2G-you must be a Genius. Thanks for the help smart guy!

yea i was!

 

^ Did you win?!

 

Yes! spanked that RSX... bad t00, 6 car win

 

sounds like you need to bleed your brakes...


K

 

after 2 car lengths you're just wasting your gas/time and risking jail time.

 

+1 bleed the system again

 

You shouldn't be having any problems with that setup, re-bleed your brakes.

 

Revenge against all RSX's now? hehehe, good kill! Even though it would've been better if you could have pulled the e-brake, done a 180, and drive in reverse while 6 cars ahead of him to add more insult to injury.

 

^ Lmao

 

Somehow that sound so familiar.

 

good thing you won the race. if you lost you should of burnt your car then and there that would of solved your brake problem. hahaha

 

I've had the brake system on the car for about 4 months now and never had any other probs with it. normal street driving the brakes work well. I have even driven my buddys Z with the BB and my setup actually feels better. I think im gonna switch the pads out. I have also seen these non metal plates that goes between your pad and caliper, it stops the transfer of heat to the fluid, i might try those.
