135 Brakes how good are they
Today is brake day at Advan
After a track day we see all sorts of things some good some bad, this one is bad see if you can see the cracks in the piston inserts Before you do a track day check your brake pads and change your fluid. the pads need to have at least 50% for a days racing with the trip home. OR $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

So what's a good compromise for someone who doesn't want to change pads for track days? And how much fluid do I need to buy?
I was going to order cool carbons and Castrol SRF fluid. |

image hosting caliper requires overhaul or replacement, cracked pistons and burnt out piston seals, maybe the above picture is your answer stu? Last edited by Kiwi Peter; 07-24-2012 at 08:27 PM.. |

After those cracked pads I switched to the Hybrid Ferodo DS2500's with Castrol SRF fluid and ran it in 2 more track days + another 6k miles with no problems. Great for daily as well, little to no noise.

I had DS2500s on my Audi and they worked well (nearly set them on fire on the track but they didn't fade), but they were pretty noisy day to day.

I find that they are only noisy if they aren't bedded in properly. At first the shop put them on and bedded them in really well so they made 0 noise for a few months then they started getting noisy and then the noisiness went away after I'm assuming they got rebedded in.

I am waiting for my titanium backing plates to arrive. I was worried about the possibility of caliper piston damage on track days so I thought I would give these a go. Matched with some ventilated rotors, fresh performance grade fluid, HPS pads and F20 front brake shields I should be OK.

a vid of what?
I was simply asking IF you got a pile of dirt and rocks, you know like a house sized dust cloud pile of dirt and gravel in the passenger front wheel would that have an effect on the brakes |

Unfortunately the brakes were sacrificed in quest of blistering lap times
He's taking the piss as I was man enough to drive all nannies off and lost the rear end on a downhill right hander - sliding off the track completely sideways leaving 4 beautiful tyre track marks leading to the car's resting position in a largeish dust cloud. |

In a pickle with them, would like to upgrade to something aftermarket but after spending heaps on the car atm I can't justify a brake upgrade... Pete said they are fine to use for street so that's how they'll stay... for now. |

Hi guys sorry to thread jack.
Can somebody confirm the OEM rear 135 2008 brake pad part number, I have conflicting numbers. Is it 34216791421 ? The other number I have seen is 34216784808 (has this been discontinued) Cheers Nik |
