Do the CSLs suffer with hot brakes?

[alexk]

So you think i have nothing to worry about with the faded paint????

I have never suffered brake fade but the whole wheel area gets hot and sometimes the wheel bolts are hot to handle.....

Do you think i might have another issue if things are getting that hot???

I think you need seminar by Fuchsroehre !!!

CSL brake best practises
1. You throw away the BBK and stick back the single piston diamonds
2. You lift the foot from the left petal (the small petal)

2.1 If you cannot overcome it mentally, take out the brake pedal, it will help you !

HAHA... laugh it up.

Well i'll stop worrying now lol

what pads were you running?

Carbotech xp10's, quite aggressive pad, but loads of the mlr boys are running this set-up with no issues

Im now on rs14 with pf discs

A load of the MLR guys run DS2500 and rate them but they are wank on a CSL, goes to show that different cars like different mods...

i did the same and was convinced it was warped but i now reckon it was pad deposits. Not easy to see, just need to somehow clean up the discs

I was always told that you just needed to go for a good 'drive' to clean them up again.....


how do the pagids compare to ds2500's then?

I wouldn't mind trying something else in my :supz:AP's:supz:

DS2500 are made of chocolate, Pagids aren't

I cleaned them up a treat, I fitted new pads, they were horrendous, I run my own garage so i hope I could tell the difference, they were definitely warped as run out proved. :thumbs:

Ive had them skimmed so they should now be sweet:thumbs:

It was after the "good drive" that it started:thumbs:

AP skimmed mine for free but it came back as you are basically still taking the top off the cirve and the disc is still warped

they replaced them next FOC

did you get yours from AP?

I've had mine skimmed twice now, but as I got them from graham goode they didnt want to know anything about them when I told them they were warped.... being consumables and all that:smt076:smt076:smt010

[shimmy]

bought the BBK kit from Questmeads

but then rang Pete Collen at AP who looks after the workshop and tech help and he told me to go in and see him

had it on the ramp and discs of and skimmed

went back two months later and he swapped them


didnt play it big balls out, just told him like it was and asked what to do and he just helped me

nbeen there twice since and he is always eager to help if there is space on the ramp

[northernjim]

that that level of service still exists is good to hear:thumbs:


just wish I'd called them up:banghead:
