Title: Advice on brakes please
Post by: FBASH1R on 03 October 2016, 12:38
i have brembo pads and pagid discs..bout a month or two new..i get brake fade and bit of smoke when i went on a spirited drive (im stage 2) ...would doing a fluid flush to dot 5.1 fluid and doing hel lines help? or should i just go to vw and get a fluid flush with the dot 4? Thanks

5.1 takes abit more heat so would help. The hel lines will give you better pedal feel as they wont 'move' as much.

5.1 fluid, braided lines will help with boiling temp and the feel of the brakes. But the best thing will be to get some good pads, i use ferrodo DS2500 and there awsome. There expensive but there unbelievably sharp and dont fade at all
