111R spongy brake pedal

[111RRR]

I know they all suffer from this to some extent, but has anyone found any effective fixes??

[steff]

do you mean brake travel or spongy under braking?

If it gets spongy under braking a set of braded hoses and some new 5.1 fluid should sort it out.

Bit of both - too much free play (I read this can be adjusted at the pedal box so I'll have to take a look sometime) but also very spongy after pads & disc make contact. Must be something peculiar about the 111R setup cos my VX220T had a much firmer pedal despite a servo and ABS.

Does this help, found on SELOC


After reading GaryC's comment about the longer pedal travel in an Exige making it harder to heel n toe I thought I'd post up the details of the adjustment I made to the pedal set up in my 111R which makes the world of difference!

It's not the length of pedal travel that was causing the problem I found rather it was the relative height differences between brake and accelerator when brake pedal was at its lowest. So by increasing the height of the brake and lowering the height ot the accelerator I ended up with a set up much closer to that of my old std S2 and heeling and toeing became possible again



Hope that helps
