[s-cars] Just done the brake upgrade...

[Tony Curran]

Bob,

 

I was just reading the Zeckhausen websitewhen your post came in and will go
do the bedding tonight.

 

I'll do some more testing too.

Bedding, properly, is a process you consciously do, not really something
they do on their own. 

http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm

It depends on how hard you were getting on the brakes to really say if they
were too hot, you'd be the best judge of that.....but, that being said I
think if you notice them and think they're too hot, something is amiss. Does
it roll easily directly after releasing the brake pedal?

Good luck, Bob

A very light hint of pad, but nothing more which is why I thought of pads






"bedding in" which I've heard mentioned on the list before.













Porsche 993 Carrera 4 calipers - akin to BIRA System 3 I've been told, but






without the BIRA bracket.

I would say if you would even notice such a thing then something is






probably not right. Do you smell "brake"?













What is a not so big upgrade?
