Brake Upgrade

[krisbutler02]

I currently have brembo HC discs and pagid blue pads (lots of meat left).

Whilst under some heavy braking the other day i got serious brake fade.

Can someone advise me on what to do to help stop fade apart from ducting.

maybe different discs?

Might be worth checking brake lines/fluid

 

[krisbutler02]

has just been changed

 

[jack_kemp]

Are you using decent fluid?

 

[krisbutler02]

[barker22]

you say 'just been changed' how long ago, who did it. possibly air in the system and needs bleeding

With uprated stuff I've never had brake fade on track, using HC's and ds2500's. For it to happen at road speed, somethings wrong imo. Bleed them, go from there.
