Dangerous Doug The orange bottle of permatex and the anti rattle clips is all that is needed. If there is a clicking noise, this is coming from worn out caliper sliding points. Alot of people throw out the clips or they break and are not replaced. There are gap numbers of about .030" limit between pads and caliper surface. The other thing is greasing the sliding surface on the calipers.



Agress 70% of braking is done by front brakes. ERA 428 has the upgraded 12" rotor setup with Sierria calipers. Racing 10 years and very happy with the braking system in the car. I didn't change the bias from when it was assemblied at ERA. I am running in board brakes, solid rotors. I do have ducts going to the rear rotors for cooling. DOT 3 is all I use. I change it when the PH strip goes bad. I don't like #4 or #5 fluid. Have used them along time ago. They also hold more moisture than #3. They killed seals in my bike calipers over time. #3 is cheap, flushing is the only pain. Any kind of ducting for the brakes will also extend the life of the fluid and pads and rotors. Low ride height of an ERA makes the ducting a little harder to last. Oval tubing has helped. Rick L.
