Freds already told me the bad news.

Smoke was coming off-em @ brands and the ring...
The heat coming out of them was rediculous...!
I dont know whether to have them skimmed, or just order a new pair of the feckers...
If I do, Ill get the brembo as recommended by Fred.

So a new set of discs.... or not?
Dont want to waste hundreds of pounds.
which one dave?? theyll go slightly blue during bedding in especially when running those pads
enthusiatic braking will sort it (dont go crazy though!!!)
you have to get the pads/discs through the intial heat process so all the resins + dirt etc are bedded in/burnt off
how does it brake???

Discolouration due to excessive hot/cold/hot/cold/hot/cold...
AFAIK...
Either that, or someones put them in a dishwasher!

Lol.... everyones telling me to ge them swapped...
Do you have a direct link to the item? I dont want to go an order the wrong ones now...!
Mr Yoz can get them for you I believe!
ooh Dave, cant remember if i told you or not, but it might be worth while you getting your brakes bled again
i know its an arse, but i was working in a car park LOL!!!
just the ABS system is a bit of a bugger, worthwhile to get it done anyway
itll be fine etc, but i just like to be sure

yeah, was thinking about it, the brakes are amazing, very very good, not too sharp either, if you brake right it doesnt put you through the windscreen.
As I said, I have a bit of a squeak problem at the mo, even when not braking and driving at up to 40 mph.
Then there is this noise I get on the motorway sometimes like I have flat tyre of something, my only thought was maybe a warped disc?????
Oh and you also forgot to mention the sparks LOL, scared the sh*t out of me the first time i drove it in the dark!!!!!!!

Cheers Steve / Steve/ Fred / Paul /Dave...
Sparks ? Have I missed something?
The PF97 pads and Brembo Max discs make a lovely, pretty sparkler effect as they grind against each other under hard braking in the dark LoL
Im sure that Yoz or Lee has a pic they can put up! Looks cool
Im tempted to swap to those pads simply for that reason alone LOL

Its not like their warrantys worth it, Lol!
I paid to get my temperature sensor fixed myself... to avoid taking two days off work to do it under warranty.
Bunch of pikeys!

Yoz and Fred are the guys to speak to...
They do a full kit of Discs, Pads and braided hoses.
Lets put it this way: In town - you wont notice the difference...
As soon as you get some heat into them: Theyre stunning.
The pads are essentially sandpaper, and so you can imagine the stopping power.
(this is all AFAIK of course... pm Yoz / Fred).
