Brake upgrade FG XR6T worked

[Rab]

Just ordered the T3/NS400 kit from RaceBrakesSydney

Was thinking of going Brembo or the Shockworks way, but I like the rims I have too much.

(am replacing T2's that are at the end of their lives)

Looking to do brakes on mine. Can I send u pm or text :-)

if upgrading the brakes, I would also suggest getting braided lines. reduces the spongy feel of the pedal.

Matt supplies em as well

Have been running the project mu pads for just on 2 weeks now with brembo 6 piston and dba t3s.

 

thoughts so far...Bit disappointed with initial bite. Very happy with dust levels how ever. 

Are other people experiencing this lack of pedal feel?

Pads that came off were qfm pads and initial bite was great but dust was a pain.

I do have to upload a pic of the wear on these qfm pads.They look like that sat a lot higher up on the rotor then new pads which led to a groove been carved out near the top and constant break squeal for last 3 months.

Will bleed brakes on weekend to see if it helps.

lack of pedal feel? as in it feels like a sponge... keeps on squeezing and then boom it brakes?

 

could be brake fluid or the need of braided lines.

then again, you said you had brembos so I am sure you already have braided lines.

[MurdoK]

Yep braided lines all round.

So the first few cms of brake pedal travel is very soft before firming up.

Before changing pads the pedal was very stiff the whole way and seemed to grip instantly.
