I have the previous model the M3's and they used to do that when connecting to my laptop, now it's almost instant.
I never changed anything.
Possibly trying unpairing and repairing them.
The ECU gets it from the coolant temp sensor just behind the thermostat housing and then that information is sent to the dash.
If you have an obd reader you can display live temperature.
Looking at the specs these W5 have a friction coefficient of 0.40-43 and ds1.11's are 0.46, so the initial bite is bound to be a bit more with them.
W6 should be on par or better.
PBS are meant to be 0.36-0.58 which I find hard to believe 😂
That's a massive range for a pad.
I did most of the bedding in on track with these Winmax, so maybe that's why they weren't at 100% bite.
Just driven on the road this morning and the bite from cold is mega 😅
No I've not tried them, they're only a fraction cheaper than the Winmax so I went with these.
They're labelled as an upgrade for people running ds1.11 on Kam's website 🤔
After a while yeah.
Enough to knock your confidence into braking late.
I think if you had some proper cooling ducts you'd be fine, but I only run with no arch liners that's it, so things get a bit toasty.
Yeah was wet till about 10am and then dry after that, so I'll take that after the...
Report is in...
They're good!
I'd say similar bite to PBS maybe a tad more, but zero fade and really easy to modulate.
Don't think they've even worn any material off tbh.
Fairly noisey on the drive home now so will have a look and see but it's to be expected with a metallic compound.
Can...
Yeah I'd use those of yours again, if it were me.
I've just swapped to Winmax W5.
They feel good on the road so far. Oulton next Tuesday for the proper test.
