Alright, alright - discoveries to be discussed tomorrow night.

Goodnight.

That, and brakes ARE your lifeline.

No brakes = you're dead

I would recommend not slamming on brakes too often from 100mph! I'm not one of those who will tell you that you should always drive your Supra at or below the speed limit 100% of the time. But, when you do exceed the limit, do so when it is safe, and give yourself plenty of room to slow down safely. If you are in traffic, use your headm and don't let this be a time you drive that way.

You mean it's not good to be able to smell your brakes burning and see smoke rising from the wheel area when coming to a stop sign? Damn.

My brakes get the $#!T beaten out of them of a regular basis (ceramic/kevlar pads, brembo rotors), and I've found that good fluid and happy lines are the best thing you can do.

As was mentioned before, flush the fluid, bleed out any air, and make sure the calipers are working correctly. When in doubt, grease the sliders again.

Not true.

have you tried braking again after filling the tire up?

General wheel bearing grease.

I use CRC Synthetic Brake Grease, comes in a can. It's like 12 bux. (Contains Moly)


If you wanna track the car, I think this will matter.

Since reading this thread, I took the pleasure of checking my sliders on my project car. They are toast. The caliper does not slid right or left.

The bolt which seems unattainable by socket is a literal pin, that is pressed into the caliper. Is this correct? If so removing the pin, for easy's sake, requires caliper removal, polishing of pin, and re-greasing?

Thanks,

Yep, the messed up part is that after it does this a few times, the slides start to wear badly and cause uneven pad wear...

It's a shitty design...

...? No.

Push the clutch in if you plan to lock wheels up.
