Guest Suprastar2009 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi evryone , I have an N/A auto with baby brakes, I replace the pads in February but the rear ones are already stupidly low, I think this might just be due to the fact that I got crap brake pads with a crap compound mix, looking again for any recommendations or horror stories on what not to buy !!

Check the rear brake are not sticking as my rear j-specs have stuck on twice. Go for a drive & see is there alot of heat coming from the rear wheal area. The front does most of the braking so they should ware quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed before whencoming back from a drive that it seemed to be warm coming from the rear, how did you resolve your stickyness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Chris Wilson fast road pads. I'm just about to go for a full set, heard lots of good things about them. I've got full set in my sup and must say they are a much improvment compare to oem pads. You will find Sir Chris Wilson on forum. Best option for jspec calipers imo.

They might need new dust seals. If they are getting hot then they are sticking. The last time mine done this it was just a 20 min job. There was a bit of dirt on the brake piston or something. The mechanic cleaned it up & it's been perfect since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Oh yeah i forgot to say don't put CW pads in until you fix the sticking or it will just burn them pads out & could warp your disks. I have heard the CW pads are a great set of pads & i will definitely be getting them when i need new pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 You may need to refurbish your rear callipers, not just change the dust seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
