Hi all,

recently purchased and fitted some new age brembo's (the gold 2 pot rear calipers & discs etc) to my 98 type r. I fitted them with no problems, but i have noticed a rubbing/grinding noise coming from the drivers side rear wheel when i take a left hander pretty quickly!

Does anybody know what this could be??

(also seemed worse when i was 4 up! but goes away after a few miles and a couple right handers!)

Any help muchly appreciated

 

hi,

have a look at the backing plate behind the disc, mabe rubbing ?

 

I had to remove the backing plate as the discs are bigger, but a good thought. I'm sure it must be something simple, but nothing i can see seems loose! Gonna take them off the weekend and see what's going on.

 

Hand brake shoes? I've been told it's a common issue on new discs - make sure shoes are adjusted so that you can only just get the new disc on and it should also improve over time as they bed in. Mine are certainly not completely sorted now but a big improvement on how they were with only occasional rubbing.

(NB - EBC not Ap but still new!)
