Guest Guest Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Here are the before shots. Ugly as can be. Grey and rust. (They like to vibrate and grind a lot when slowing from high speeds too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Wow, so that's what the Michelin tires that don't have cracked sidewalls and the tread separating from the tire look like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Well if I didn't have lightning damage to replace ( phones, TV, computer) I would seriously consider it...think the lightning damage will set back mods a few months....

brucelinc Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Looks great. How is the stopping power and pedal feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have been going very easy on them. I haven't made any hard slow downs yet but the pedal does feel good. That warped grinding feeling is gone. I can tell the pads are bedding in. I can feel just the slightest hint of the bedding material scuffing the discs. The fronts are pretty flat but the backs are bedding from the top and the bottom edges in. The brakes feel like they are going to be pretty powerful when I get a chance to do some hard breaking. And, when the bedding material is gone, I'm confident I'll have a nice, smooth powerful slow down/stop. I think when I have a smooth bed across the back discs I'll be in pretty good shape. When I get the tires put on, hopefully Thursday afternoon, I'll have them take a look and see how they are coming along. The only issue I have is that the front pads don't cover the whole disc area. The inside of the disc surface is not being used. That's from the pad being arc shaped. I think the non-PP pads with their straight across the bottom configuration would reach deeper towards the hat. But, like Tom pointed out the PP pads have more surface on the outside circumference of the disc, giving it more braking power. Either way, the non-bedded area of the disc is still glazed so after the rain last nigh only the bedded area showed rust until applying the brakes. (Like any rotor does.) These pictures are after about 50 miles of interstate, and 50 miles of country roads. At lunch today, I went for a drive in the country and did some easy braking with plenty of cool down.

bpd1151 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Look'n great Dave! I'm sure once the bedding in period has come and gone, and you mash the sh!t outta that brake pedal, you'll have a MUCH higher degree of confidence when it comes to braking. You can see the heat signatures in the OEM rotor of that 'BEFORE' pic you showed. Crazy how the OEM pad material just doesn't jive well with the OEM rotor. Many happy miles with your new / current set up. I myself absolutely LOVE the EBC Yellow Track Pads and will be purchasing another exact set when mine's ready for replacement.

Guest Guest Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks BPD! I'm lovin' them already. That little touch of yellow looks cool and you know they mean business. Just got to get past this bedding in. Yeah, that OEM left front rotor was a mess! No wonder it sounded so bad. I should be stopping pretty fast and smooth with the yellows and 255's.

Guest Guest Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just about through with the bedding process. Still getting a little bedding material on the wheels but the rotors are looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
