Hey Alex-
everything worked out well?
Eventually :-).
How does it stop now compared to before?
After the first couple stops of the morning, it does excellently. The pads don't like cold, but it takes very little to get them warm - just a couple stops around the neighborhood at low speeds is fine.
Once that's done, they stop extremely well! After a decent brake break-in period (how's that for a tongue-, er, finger-twister?), I went on a desolate, straight 2-lane country road, floored it through 5 gears to 120mph, then hit the brakes hard, and repeated the procedure. I had three goals in mind:
- test brake bias to ensure that front locks first (it does!)
- test brake heat dissipation ability (um, very good)
- apply big grin to my face
Compared to before, it rocks. The bendix-style 1-pot brakes I had on the rear (CB's kit) always felt a little sloppy. These are much better.
Good to hear that the travel is good.
It is, with the 944 MC. The stock one doesn't cut it.
Also, I hooked up the MC the way Porsche intended, with the big part for the front. I know many people reverse this order out of fear of incorrect brake bias, but it works fine for my car.
Thanks so much for your help on the project, Alex!
Take care,
