Just when I think I've got the RK Spyder figured out, the incredibly precise steering, crushingly effective Brembo four-piston-caliper brakes deliver a thrilling driving experience that begs for a track day before I reach 4th gear.
Those Brembo brakes haul the car down from silly speeds repeatedly on the track with no sign of fade or sogginess.
I had it resurfaced and changed the pads to ATE ceramic pads. Now all my problem are solved.
i didn't know we had brembo brakes.
My friend has them on his 91 MR2 and he said he can feel the diference from stock and that they squeak a tiny bit during light braking.
cad plated brembo cross-drilled w/ PBR metal master pads. I'm not nice to brakes (auto-x has a tendancy to do that). But, this set up has lasted me 1.5+ plus. Why should I switch to anything else? And yes, the car is driven year round.
I have brembo's w/mintex I'm happy with performance but they rusted. I will spend the extra $ to get cad plated next time.
i had ATE with mintex red pads, but they warped in abotu 9 months... prob due to excessive braking. now i put on the zimmermans. they look great on the car, and im happy with the braking so far, though its only been 1 week.
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
just swapped out my original brake pads and rotors for some oem rotors with the brembo aftermarket pads hoping to avoid the dust that the original trw pads creates. all went well with install, everything seemed to fit nicely, but after about 10 miles the pads started jumping up and down in the carrier any time id hit a bump in the road. ive seen the threads talking about this issue with certain aftermarket companies, but figured id put it out there that brembo is another one that seems to have made their pads just a tiny bit shorter than original giving it enough room to slide up and down. side to side is fine, but the noise is unbearable for what it is. threw my oe pads back on and will be getting a new set of vw pads in the am. cant stand the dust but its wayyyy better than the car sounding like it did with those pads. these companies need to include shims or something.
