Ive got a problem with me Fezzy front brakes
they are G-Force discs+G-Force pads about 3
months old,the problem is when im braking from speeds above 30mph im getting a resonable amount of shaking coming from
the front wheels and i dont know why
any idea's why??????

[EVO]

Sounds like theyre a bit warped....did you take it easy on them when bedding them in?

[bassboy]

Yeah m8, they are definately warped! the only thing u can do is get a new set of discs and pads! actually, when u drive in a straight line, does the car pull to [ERRR] direction?? ur tracking might be out, but its VERY unlikely!

Dont worry about it though, ur not the only one, my cousin has EBC grooved and drilled discs with Redstuff pads (!!) and he still manages to warp them and sometimes even gets brake fade from the Redstuff!!! and thats full race spec pads!! Yellowstuff are now ordered

Do u drive ur car very hard?

I think your both wright,i think the disc's are warped,ive had a word with one of my freinds who races cars,and he said's the
same thing,he saids race disc's drilled or
grooved offer no benefit with normal road use
there mainly for track use,they dont last long,so im now going to get standard ford
disc's and pads,Cheers all the same

I dont really think i drive my car that hard
though although its very powerful,but not as powerful as id like.

ford discs with thgs like greenstuf pads are a good mix for a fast road car.

[bassboy]

As fieata fras says, go for original ford discs with greenstuff pads.

what sort of mods u dont to the car Hammer26?

[HAMMER26]

Well Bassboy,

The mods ive done so far is new susspension
by LEDA hand made fully adjustable,new set
of alloys 15rims nothing to adventurus.

Magnex exhaust,and in the process of getting
the exsterior fully resprayed with cossie
bumper and fords rs rear accessory bumper
plus morrete twins headlamps plus all the lights in the bumper and escort cosworth
bonnet vents cut into the bonnet.

Later in the year i hope to have a turbo
conversion done probably by Fiesta Frenzy.

I will look great,and when its done you'll
all see it.

I have EBC greenstuff pads and grooved disks and i get juddering as well. What i have been told is that the Kevlar in the pads needs to build up on the disk to get the proper friction, but with the grooves you wipe some of that away and you are left with patches of Kevlar on the non-grooved areas, which leads to the vibration.
Standard Cossie disks are next on my shopping list

[SYRSMAD]

Mine do it when i break from above 60 down to a low speed say 15 - 20. They don't judder so much they just make hellva noise?? What do you think this is??

Cheers

Yeah i know what u mean...my cousin gets that with his Redtuff pads!! Thats [ERRR] the breaks get too hot and brake fade occurs...does it do it when u brake really hard?

when using uprated brakes, u have to warm up the brakes to a certain temperature before they start working...i'll get u the operating temps for the EBC stuff when i get back home. If u use the brake before they have warmed up properly, they wont be as effective and u'll find u have to press the brake pedal fairly hard! People find that with Greenstuff....just imagine what my cousin has to go through to warm up his redstuff pads!!! Now his switching to Yellow stuff!! (they are highly not recommended for road use!! they use formula 1 technology!!)

Same problem as you guys, brake hard and the whole car shakes. I do drive hard sometimes, and my old man says I have broke too hard in the wet and the water has caused them to warp. If you have your recipt it could be worth phoning the company up and try to get some new ones out of them. I tried, but couldn't find my recipt, bast!!!!
