Brembo disc's & pads over heating

[rf55]

I've got problems with my new Brembo pads & disc's overheating ?
after slowing down from 60mph 3 times within 5 mins my brakes have overheated ?
any idea's have contacted the seller and he's laughing at me ? ive refitted my OEM HONDA & they work fine ? this is his reply ?

High i have never had a comeback on these brakes?? I mean they are brembo..and i must contact them regarding this issue i believe they will laugh at me when i tell them the issue as brembo brakes exceed oe quality.. Will speak to them and get back to you.. I would suggest a caliper check as it could be sticking and causing pads to constantly be in contact cheers

Any help please. Thanks

Have you checked to see if it's sticking?

Did you upgrade your fluid and lines too? thats what I did when I installed mine and I havnt had any issues. His reply isnt exactly helpful so I would try getting in touch with Brembo and just state they are over heating quickly and are perhaps sticking to the pad - as thats the most useful thing the seller said - and see what they say. He is right they are a quality product. I dont mean this in a dorrogatory way - but did you fit them yourself?

And what pads did you have fitted with the brembos.. thats just as important mate - http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?66024-Group-Buy-Ferodo-DS2500-pads.

Well they're going to be toss, as decent pads will cost about that on their own.

They are refunding me the cash for new pads £33 ?

 

[JamesT]

Take it!

I never buy a pad without the proper specs being shown. Temp ranges/friction co-efficient etc.

I have taken the cash need pads now, only about a week left on mine :lol:

Well, I've never been a fan of the DS2500's (if you're thinking about getting some). Other people swear by them, but I just knew they didn't perform that well for me. I kept getting them to fade.

Even their own graph shows how they can't handle the real heat! (Was fitted to a touring car for this test though)

 

[rf55]

what do you think about COSWORTH STREETMASTER

 

[JamesT]

I haven't tried them mate. However, they do look pretty good from the specs, come in slightly better than the DS2500.

Give them a go and give us a review!
