mattiekane Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Got new discs and pads to go on all round, and going to change the fluid whilst I'm there, question is, stick with DOT4 or go balls deep with dot5?

Sandals Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 You may as well go balls deep... no benefit with staying with dot4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Are they definitely warped ? As if some pads and discs ain't put through their pases the grooves clog up . If thats the case sometimes getting a lot of heat in them (braking hard on a slip lane a few times) can clean em up .Might be worth a try before complaining to them .I warped 2 sets on mine but i think that was due to having red stuff & kevlar hard compound pads for road use .as ive done 1.5k on my current adb discs and pfc pads without issues (so far lol )Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'll try some heavy breaking to make sure first I have previously done some spirited back road driving and they seem to get worse with more heat, but I'll double check [emoji106] Loud pipes save lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If they are fubar'd, give Alyn @ asperformance a bell to discuss a better option for a replacement . As he knows his scoobs and I've always been happy with his pricing and brand options [emoji6]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiekane Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'll be getting free replacements if they are warped, they have hardly done anything lolLoud pipes save lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkSTI Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 @mattiekane I had the same discs on my celica for 18 months with no problems. Working brakes save lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
