Hey Gang,
Ok I just had a mechanic friend of mine do a road test of my B and said that my right front brakes where locking up under heavy braking. Putting the car up on the rack he complimented me on the upgrades I’ve done – Cross drilled rotors, upgraded semi metallic pads and stainless steel braided Teflon brake lines. But the bad news is that he said it’s time to replace my tired old brake fluid and it’s time to replace my rear brake shoes and scuffing up the inside of drums. In other words I’ve got way too much front ballast – thus the front lock-up. But he also recommended that while I had the car up in the air that I scuff up the front rotors and while my pads look fine he suggested I invest in some more upgraded pads.
So the question is what do you think is the best pads for my application.
Green Stuff pads?
Hawk pads?
V8 pads?
While I won’t be running that much power than stock, I want to be able to dive deeper into the corners and not have to worry about brake fade. Please vote & give me your thoughts?
