Ady Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Took the car out on the weekend (yes, with no bumper) and took her for a nice good thrashing. the break pedal seems to be a bit soft - too soft for the spead the car can actually do - im not shure if its me, the car or both. Im replacing the break fluid soon, and will be getting some braided hoses. Has anyone had any dealings with the goodbridge kits on fleebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra-JZA80-Goodridge-Brake-Line-Kit_W0QQitemZ180178842459QQihZ008QQcategoryZ10428QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If this dosent help, i will be going for the clamp that goes onto your strut bar and onto the master cylinder to help reduce the flex. The pads and disks are ok , as they passed with over 85% on mot Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that should matter as there's not exactly much to them, should be fine. Put some decent fluid in too, Motul for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mk47 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 hey i am sure the zinc ones are not as good as the stainless steel tipped ones - ive read this numerous times that the zinc ones corrode but the s/s ones are better and are slightly more expensive (both by goodridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 That is correct the zinc ones corrode and are a tad cheaper than the stainless steel, personally I only stock the stainless steel versions, dont want to be cutting corners with brakes....

Nic Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Check how much the brake master cylinder flexes, with engine running get someone to press the brake pedal and you will be able to see the master cylinder moving. A combination of good quality braided brake lines, brake fluid, a good set of pads and a brace for the master cylinder (either Cusco or Carbing brace) should make a significant difference in pedal feel and bit of the brakes.
