Monaro VXR/Cupra TDi
Fitted last week to the front: Brembo Max discs, Ferodo DS 2500, Goodridge braided hoses, fluid change.
Felt fine when fitted, crisp and keen to bite.
Waited 250 miles before giving the brakes a moderate work out over eight miles. After which felt fade. Used the car next morning from cold, brakes felt as they did the night before, more pedal pressure needed for stopping. Not as eager to bite.
Read a thread on "greening". Followed instructions and gave a quite few hard stops on the pedal comprising of hard 50-0 and 80-30 stops. Pedal requiring pressure as earlier to for brakes to bite.
Once cold brakes slow to bite than when warm as before. Above procedure repeated many times. Now covered 375 miles after initial fitment.
Whats going on? I thought this would be at the very least an upgrade over the OEM brakes?
Pads glazed? Still in greening phase?
All comments appreciated.
