Hi all, just a bit of advice. After my ro vxr with stock brakes and pads came out of my garage, which it has been for the last month cus of the bad weather seems to have braking wobble. I've tried doing the hard braking thing to clean them up. They look ok but, the wobble is still there. The problem was not there before I stored it. Do u think fitting friction pads the fish sell would solve the problem. Any advice would be helpful

Are you sure it's the brakes? I suppose the tyres could have flat-spotted.

It was moved in and out of the garage at least once a week so I could get other things out. So I don't think it is flat spots.

Neither do I then. A month would be a very short time for that to happen, but with the cold weather it was an outside idea.

I remember Reading a while back that the stock pads don't clean the discs very well and friction pads have solved most peoples problems. Last year I thought of getting ap's but my ro is sort of a weekend car and ap's rust even quicker cus of the high iron content. Well I'm at the fish on the 13 for a service so they can take a look. The down side is the mrs comming with me to make sure I don't spend dosh on extra bits, lol

Keep it stiff

I had my R8 in the garage for about a month over Xmas and it took quite a few miles to clean the discs up.

I had exactly the same issue with my VXR, under heavy braking / scrubbing speed off, I got steering wheel wobble, Monkfish had prev reported inside rear disc rust. Last service I had them fit a set of the harder friction pads all round and after a few miles, prob gone thumbup

You could be rite, just had a look at the rear discs and they do look more corroded than the front ones

On my second set of Friction pads now, and not had a wheel wobble for 10's of thousands of miles...they work.
