Hi mate
So far so good. Still got a fair bit of running in to do, but the brake pedal is firmer and there's more of a reaction higher up in the pedal. i.e. when you just dab the pedal, you can feel the brakes now.
Still no squeaking!
At this stage I'm not confident to say whether I'd track...
There's two on each caliper (top and bottom where the pad sits). If you've got them on, just lever off on opposite directions e.g. bottom one, lever upwards etc and they just ping off.
Would also re-grease the pads if this is the case.
Last year I had the K-tec remap done along with K-tec supersports exhaust and ITG panel filter. made a nice difference to torque (10ft/lbs more) in the mid range.
This weekend fitted brembo HC discs, DS Performance Pads and K-tec braided lines.
Nice subtle improvements IMO.
Next I'm...
Sounds like a nightmare mate. Glad you got it sorted.
As I mentioned in my earlier posts, my mate removed the anti-rattle shim as the pads wouldn't fit in otherwise.
He was also careful about applying the copper grease to the edges and back of the pads.
have only done around 30miles since...
Hi mate
No squealing what so ever. We coated the edges of the pads and back in a thin layer of copper grease. We also removed the pad shims as the new pads wouldn't fit with them in.
parts wise, its in all an excellent deal from K-tec. Oh and the braided lines are pant wettingly nice.
I'm...
Fitted the DS Performance pads yesterday along with Brembo Hc Discs and K-tec braided lines.
Obviously need running in, but seriously better than my previous stock setup.
My mate fitted the new discs, pads and braided lines this morning. We also flushed out most of the old fluid and replaced with new Castrol Dot4 (from Opie Oils).
Brakes are already much more responsive, even from lightly pressing the pedal. Obviously there's some running in to be done, but I'm...
McLaren is only down the road from me. Don't often see other Trophys round here though.
I've had mine remapped and had a new exhuast. made a huge difference:)
