Brakes braking power

lucian18 · 18th May 2012, 21:40

Hello everyone
I recently upgraded my brakes with EBC TG discs,hell braided line,ds2500 pads and motul rbf600 and i must say it's absolutely brilliant,yesterday evening i've done a few emergency stops just to test how good the brakes are and i managed to get the brake discs red hot,actually glowing red and to my surprise the braking power was better than ever,no fading whatsoever,i'm really really impressed. My previous setup included greenstuff pads and tg discs and they managed to fade after 2 es.
Just tought i shared this information with everyone.
Regards

Makes quite a difference doesn't it, I did mine not long ago, only disks lines and pads but kept the green stuff pads and it totally transformed it.

With mine,i'm not sure why my brakes were so bad,maybe it wasn't the pads thet made them fade,maybe it was the brake lines or brake fluid,but for whatever reason my brakes were awfull even with tg discs and greenstuff pads.

Probably the fluid, as once it's boiled it gets a lot worse. RBF600 is rated ABOVE the 5.1 dry and wet boiling points; it's much much better.
