Default Massive Brake Fade

Hiya guys, went out for a little blast yesterday with a few friends and after about 15mins I suffered major brake fade. Foot flat to the foor and just not stopping.. Was wondering if changing to braided hoses and 5.1brake fluid would make a difference??

the fluid will be the bulk of the problem, but would also check for things like tight fitting pads, seized calipers, etc. to make sure you don't have another issue causing the problem...................

if you are changing the fluid - you may as well get some braided hoses as well - they will firm up the pedal and remove another cause of spongy brakes.

ASP TRADING MOTORSPORT UK are the best place to source these and the fluid IMO



.... you can pay me later Alyn
