Adriank Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 .. First impressions are good, good feel, greatly improved brake performance and as of yet no squealing! Only the one trip so far, so ill drive it a bit and let them bed in before i give it a full run down! Few pics during fitting :- Old disc/pad New Pads And fitting/fitted Was dark when done so no on ground pics yet, will get some at next opportunity and update with more info once i have used them for a bit. Sorry about the rubbish pic quality, the phone is naff in dull conditions. Quote
Chris`I Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Did Dixel give you a braking in procedure? Normally with performance breaks you need to do a series of high speed stops to get the pads mated to the discs. Should get them performing Look good btw Quote

Give it til 10pm tonight then go out and give them a good ragging. Come back when they're smoking Quote
GIXXERUK Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 LOOK nice to get some product feedback http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm you should do some progressive braking otherwise you will glaze the pads, you just want to scrub them in Quote
Stew Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 To save starting a new thread, my Dixcel set up is on now too. I have the same discs up front and rear discs with the same pattern. Same pads all round. I also have some HEL braided hoses and RBF600 fluid Due to the snow I haven't bedded them in yet but will next week when I finish nights. Initial impressions driving home from my mates garage..... F**K ME! They stop! Initial bite was awesome, I barely pushed the pedal and I was shaving off speed! Not in a jerky way either, in a very progressive manor. More reports as time goes on. I hope Adrian will be able to follow up too! Quote
DixcelBrake Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Thats just the beginning, try give them some heat and you will be able to feel the real braking power. You can never use it 100% on the road, take it to the track and you will be able to feel the proper racing braking power. Quote
janz70 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Sorry if Im being stupid but which pads did you get - type 01R / M/ Z ? Quote
DixcelBrake Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Both of them have got the Type Z pad, they are all round performance pad for road, track and even racing use. Quote
