sarjo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Big noisy brakes!! http://www.kad-uk.com/brakekits2.htm I've got six pot callipers and floating discs. Should they rattle loudly when driving at low speed. Mine sound like a train rattling along the tracks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 It's quite normal for floating brakes to rattle at low speeds. Mr Wilson gave me a lesson on them the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Glad to hear its not mine then! Embarrassing isnt it trundling down a narrow village high street full of shoppers!! Hmm, I just bought a set. Apart from the rattle at low speed how do you rate them ? Is the rattle really that bad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 AP racing strap drive don't rattle, my AP bobbin in the disc ones only rattle a TINY bit (you'd almost ceratinly never notice unless you were told). Some el cheapo ones rattle like hell though, as the tolerances are so lax. On a road car the ONLY reason to buy them is if you are SERIOUSLY into track days, they are high maintenance items.

Gamer Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I just double checked and I did not get the kit with the larger floating discs (378 x 32) I got the 356 x 32... Phew Ok Chris, now you can tell me why I don't need those too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 I got them cus they were on the car when I bought it! They weren't cheap - I've seen the invoice - but still rattle like mad. Good stopping power though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
