Clio 172 Cup
I'm looking for some advice on my brakes; which appeared to have warped discs and now have "got better" by themselves.
Basically, I fitted some new Brembo HCs onto used DS2500 just before a trackday at Oulton. I managed to do some road miles to wear them in a bit, but I didn't do the same heat-cycling-thing as I would normally do when fitting new discs & pads.
Brake performance seemed very good on road and initially really good on track. However, after lunch I started getting pretty severe juddering/vibration through the wheels on braking; which felt like the discs were warped. This carried on for the rest of the day; juddering not too bad at the start of each session and getting worse when the brakes were hot.
I have been driving on the road for the last few weeks and the brakes have got progressively smoother. However, I assumed that this was because I had not got anything like the heat you would get from a track and that the discs still would need replacing. So this Sunday, I decided to find a quiet road and do repeated emergency stops from 60mph(+) to really get them up to temperature. Amazingly I just ended up getting brake fade, but no juddering.
Can I assume that the discs have somehow "faced" themselves or the pads have worn into them better now? Would this happen?
If so, does anyone need some Brand New Brembo HCs and Pagid Blues :S
Cheers,
Andy
