Hi guys Need some advice I have a set of griling g60 twin pots fitted with new yellow stuff pads. 280m disc .Stainless braided hose. a brand new 25.4mm m/c .in rear New mk4 calipers .yellow stuff pads New mk4 stainless hoses and all New 5.1 dot fluid .so the calipers on the front have been totally refub with pistons out and cleaned and New seL kit .so a lot of money spent .now this is a pure track car .and did blyton park last weekend and to tell the truth I wasn't impressed with them I thought there would put me though the window .there didn't.I had to push quite hard to feel them I have bleed these 4 times even took the mk4 calipers off and bleed upside down Any advice please Cheers Lee
very little in it between the twin pots and single ones i'd look at getting better pads than the ebc yellow stuff pads i'm not a fan of their pads after having a few problems
I had them come off the backing twice on my old 8v in the mid 90's What ever they are bonded with doesn't like a lot of heat If that's on my standard road car I'd hate to think how they get on with a track day lol Some people swear by them though
Hi chaps Could it be that the M/C is two big that's why it's taking more push on the pedel the S2 Audi used a 25.4Mm M/C It's just I got croft on the 16th doing a sprint race day and I really feel I need to stop lol
Wouldn't take them if they were free in a lucky bag Their discs are OK had a few sets over the years You are welcome to test them for me if you like
You need to revert to the correct size M/C of 22.2mm. The 25.4mm will just drop the line pressure, increase the volume and lower the clamping force at what were typical pedal pressures. At speed it's difficult to produce sufficient pedal pressure as the volume works against you.
I ran Yellowstuff successfully for years. I`ve posted positive things about them many times. They aren`t the best pad out there by any means, but they aren`t as bad as they used to be either. For a budget pad, they are good and I had no complaints until I started going quicker. Matt runs them on his 328i and they are excellent, easily bringing in the ABS if you stamp on the pedal. The only downside they`ve never fixed is the somewhat wooden feel. What he said. I ran a 22.2 one at first but switched to the 25.4mm one. I needed more pedal pressure for the same brake performance, but found the higher, stiffer pedal made H&T downshifts much easier. Now I`ve gone to better brakes, I`ve switched to a 23.8mm MC as that`s better suited to the brakes and H&T where the 25.4mm one was too big.
I found them OK the only problem I had was the pad came off the backing This happened twice First with the first set and then with the replacement set I didn't bother going back a second time I just got ferodo pads that I had use before the ebc one They lasted till they needed changing without the pad coming off
I had a set of G60s on my race car and wasn't too impressed. I ran EBC redstuff pads and just couldn't get the pedal to feel right. I suspect the pads were knocking off a bit. The G60 calipers are super heavy too. All my issues went away when I upgraded to Tarox B280-6 calipers on the same sized discs. Pedal feel and stopping power were vastly improved.
