Quick Update - Front Brakes

[the_cueball]

Well after a few weeks of nightmares I am finally getting the car back today!

The calipers on it were completely fecked, and after some quick help from the guys at AWD in Perth, I now have refurbished 4 pots.

So these added with my new disks, pads and clips etc should mean that the car can actually stop now!

Anyway, if it wasn't for this forum, I would have never found out about AWD, and my car would still be in a corner of a garage somewhere, so THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I had the same problem with my calipers last year, pistons were ceased, no wonder my brakes were crap.

Made a good difference, then even better with uprated discs and pads a short while after that.

AWD also did a good job back then

done my calipers myself just before xmas as had stuck pistons

got 2 caliper service kits off ebay from the guy i get my oil from (Import Car Parts Japanese Car Parts). 4 new pistons, seals, washers and bleed hole cap in each packet, was fairly easy to do (never stripped calipers before)

what a difference

Wasn't quite a refurb for me more of a re-placement,

finally got ma brembos on with new pads, kinda makes you

wonder why you put up wi the 'average' brakes of old !!

Apart from the usual 1000bhp upgrades that your car can get,

getting the brakes and handling sorted gives the same level of

satisfaction I rekon
