Stupid_fast Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Most likely not,Unless they have been subdued to alot of heavy braking,with alot of heat cycles(ie track days) Not track days... but plenty of canyon runs. But as I said, with an L20b and sticky suspension/tire setup Im not on the brakes that much. Then again this is my fourth brake pad change in 10k miles. Drums are still fine.

Well not on the brakes very hard.... but the car sees corners more than it sees straights. Went through my last set of tires in 7k miles. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a new brake setup at the end of the month and won't have to worry about stock brakes anymore. Quote Link to comment

Well I personally would refrain from any spirited type of driving until you replace or turn the rotors Its the Canyons where you need the most braking.. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I replaced my Stock 510 MC (3/4")with a Z car MC (7/8"). Its great if you like a really firm peddle. I dont like it much. I would sooner get a 78/79 620 MC with the 13/16" bore. That said, my Stock MC was awesome! had no problem locking the front circuit. I never got the peddle to the floor. Now with the Z car one, I cant heel toe, as the brake peddle engages so much higher than the gas pedal starts. Quote Link to comment

I was also under the impression rotors didn't have to be turned unless they where wobbling or otherwise causing issues - They should be turned anyway ? heh @laecaon, I really have no idea what master i have. I'm only guessing its a stock 510 one. I may try different options and see what I like best. With my throttle cable setup my pedal comes way further up than stock anyway. Quote Link to comment
