Brakes

I have just fitted a full set of Performance brake pads and bedded them in today.I can definitely say these pads make a noticable improvement to standard stoppers! They did nothing for a soggy pedal feel though, so more work to follow!

Braided hoses should improve the feel although the pedal will probably improve once the pads are fully bedded in

I had the same pads fitted last week. How many miles does it take to bed them in? I had brake wobble so I want to do some hard braking to clean the discs up.

I think the brake wobble will be the residue from the original pad material, I think it wears off in a short period of regular use.

Which brakepads did you go for?

[Build394]

The fish's friction pads as I was down there for a service

Anything up to 500 miles depending on the condition of your discs.

I have the Performance Friction ones on mine ('05 VXR brakes) and they definitely feel better after they've bedded in and are warmed up.
