Help with brembo big brake kit!

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 05:50 PM

I installed the brakes on my 99 gt but i think these brakes feel worse that my stock ones. I havent noticed and improvement. Is this normal and I should wait for the brakes to set in? Any help??

what all was replaced? it may take some time for them to set in you should not hammer on the breaks for a while ,and make sure you have installed them as instructed to the tee

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 06:02 PM

yea i did exactly on the instructions even took my time longer than the time it said. i replaced the stock 99 gt rotors and calipers to the brembo 4piston calipers and 13 inch slotted/drilled rotors

superbeef1000 · June 28th, 2008, 06:04 PM

so what is the problem ,,,,noise or are they just not clamping like you exprected

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 06:07 PM

I didnt install the stainless steel lines because they only had three lines of thread and would make my brakes leak

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 06:08 PM

When im driving fast and then start to slow down on the freeway my old brakes you to feel like they were helping me stop faster than these

superbeef1000 · June 28th, 2008, 06:09 PM

you should install them they will keep the pedal from feeling mooshy and send the clamp load to the pads

superbeef1000 · June 28th, 2008, 06:11 PM

it will take some time to set in ,,not only that but they may need to bleed the lines again to make sure all air is out ,,i had to do this a couple times with mine

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 06:16 PM

you def need to install those lines. all your doing is bottlenecking your breaks.
that's why you are having those issues.

Saleenssc14 · June 28th, 2008, 07:46 PM

Could be your stock master cylinder can't keep up with the added demand as well. Might be something to look into.

Its not the master cylinder. I have wilwood 6 piston calibers and my master cylinder is working fine. I would install ss brake lines and then rebleed them. Even w/ only 3 threads those lines will seal if you tighten them properly.

welcome to the forums btw.

I think you just need to bleed them more.

BTW what kind of brake fluid are you using? dot3?

Might not be a bad idea to get some SuperBlue fluid. When changing brake fluid you have to bleed the brakes till the new fluid starts to come out...that way you know you have definitely bled all the air out.

When I did mine I had air coming out all the way to the new fluid, so it could be anywhere in the lines.
