Justthejedi Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Hi Mitz My brakes are juddering like mad under slightly heavy braking and driving me potty as it feels terrible. Could you price up some options for me please, from the cheapest to mid-range , I'm thinking from standard replacement discs and pads to say something like the Black Diamond discs and pads, red stuff pads, including fitting. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I've also noticed a new noise from underneath, when crawling along in a traffic jam, there is a metallic "tink" now and again? Any ideas? Thanks Justin Quote
Daryl Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Sounds like they are warped mate. Why not try getting them skimmed by Disc Skimmers first before spending more money. I think his name is Markus, top bloke, knows his stuff. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Justin, drop me a message via PM and when we close up the garage I'll put some options your way... Quote
Daryl Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Sorry Mitz, was not trying to steal business from you, just trying to help out a fellow forum member. If he has a fundamental issue, he will go through the new discs and pads mega quick, and it wont solve the problem. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Daryl, no apology needed at all, we appreciate the input... Quote

Cheers for the response Daryl, I've cooked my brakes by sitting on the pedal at junctions, the Brembo's create a lot of heat so getting into the habit of using my handbrake more. Quote

yetijohn Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Would be interested to hear the recommendations as I'm due some new discs/pads. Looking at standard to slight upgrade Quote
Justthejedi Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Black diamond are recommended matey. Quote
leebottrill Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Did you find out what that 'tink' was? I have the same noise. I'm sure its an exhaust / heat sheld? Quote

No I didn't unfortunately......and it's not doing it anymore?! Had it Mot'd last week and it sailed through with no advisories so everything underneath must be ok. Quote
