Curt,
Hmmm, if Ernie hadn't jumped in I'd start asking what's wrong with your set up? But let me ask anyway. Are the brakes fading, getting a soft or hard pedal?

Have you matched the Master Cylinder with the calipers? Do you have a proportioning valve?

I strongly suggest you do NOT use cross-drilled rotors! (Want a personal story? Just let me know )

Baer or Wildwood? We use em both. Baer has a beautifull setup though, bolt on that does work well. Biggest part is matching up the right parts for the system, lightweight calibers, vented and slotted rotors, and of course brake pads, brake pads, brake pads!
Fluid is critical! We've boiled the best of em!


You may have to go through three or four sets of pads to find the ones that work for you. It IS imperative that you either buy the burnished pads, (already broken in) or pay particular attention to the brake in period/instructions.

We can set you up with either styles, but call and talk to Jay at the shop, he is "the" brake destructor! 740-852-5280

DV...I love the smell of burnt fuel, smoking tires, slipping clutches and HOT brakes! If it ever turns into a job I quit!
