hey

| Yeah try pads first, should fix the problem, but dont get cheap crap, cos it won't be long before they squeel too. Get some decent ones. |

yeah we tried that twice but both times they just put ati squeel on them. the second time i said why cant you just change the pads on warranty and the said because its a wear and tear part we cant claim warranty.
oh and yes we have the brembos.
we got a price on the pads and it was $2500 for all 4 tyres

Unfortunately it's something that will continue to happen as the brakes are basically under-utilised under normal driving. Even our 2-piston BA GT brakes squeaked occasionally. You need to do some harder barking occasionally to minimise this. We now have a brand new Super Pursuit with the 6 spot Brembo's and I make sure I do some hard braking from time to time  .
Now of course all of this will be much worse if the brakes were not bedded in properly in the first place. |
