Default Re: FG Super Pursuit Front Rotors Warping

Once again thanks for the helpful info. Looks like i'll be swapping the pads over sooner, rather than later. Can you price me a set for the fronts if that's ok. I have DBA T3 Slotted discs in the front.
Also I 100% agree with you on the upper bushes and the front end in general. I've had them inspected a few times and each time they are checked, they aren't "busted" so they don't get replaced. From your experience what is the "goto" brand for these and can you supply them??.

One more question and this might just be me, but should you when braking on these larger discs and calipers have a spongy pedal or a firm pedal. it appears with my brakes at the current setup are spongy or sluggish, I hate that as you apply the pedal its a "soft" feel, like it doesn't feel that the disc is really being "grabbed". you have to apply a decent amount of foot pressure to get the brakes to really grab. When I first got the car with the factory brembos, the brakes were nice and firm, you just had to touch the pedal and the front end would nose dive and you could pull up with ease. I'm actually in the habit of dual braking by downshifting the tiptronic and normal braking when stopping because without stomping on the pedal, id don't feel the car pulls up very well & since the discs have been warped, im not too keen on super heating the brakes every time. Maybe its just me, but it doesn't hurt too ask an expert

I had a VX HSV a few years ago and someone had installed harrop brakes on it and that thing would STOP.

Cheers AJ
