Alloy Dave Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I do downshift a lot and I don't ride my brakes that is what the clutch is for. What? You'd rather wear out a clutch than a pair of brake pads? Not me...pads are cheap and easy. Dave I don't trust a cat with its eyes closed. I don't trust English professors that invent words like ....Rufstang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brembos use an AP1001 pad. I don't know what number the rears are, though. Thanks for the mention sprint200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry RUF, I took the Camaro to the body shop yesterday...won't be able to drive her until April. Good news....she will have completely new paint, those sloppy door hinge detents will be fixed, all new weatherstripping will quiet her down, and I finally get spoilers added...woo hoo. I will have interim pics of the process, but it's a chevy..so I can't post here without retribution. Dave P.S. I trust you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodstang Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I waxed my wheels and just hit them with the hi pressure air gun when I get home. Seems to work with minimal effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratnacage Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 The brake pads chosen by the design engineers is similar in philosophy to the choice of softer bushings in the upper control arm. It's all about day to day drivability and manners. If Ford put racing pads on the Shelby, they'd have a bunch of people bringing their cars in to service for noisy or rough (Ruf) feeling brakes. Not to mention that higher perf pads require specific break-in procedures to be fully effective - can't trust Joe Blow to actually follow though on this. By having softer pads, they feel good, but are just dirtier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 04 Mystic I can drive it all week and it doesn't have a fraction of the brake dust my 500 makes with a 50 mile trip, and my 04 Doesn't have any brake noise at all. So I think they could have done a lot better job for a 44K sticker. Jus my o2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrichard Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 cost cutting = cheaper This is how they helped keep the cost down on the MSRP And a lot of the cost cutting ends up being a mistake since many are clearly willing to pay more than the current MSRP...sure would have been nice to have a higher MSRP and better components instead of a lower MSRP, worse components, and ADM...

owenkelley Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I don't even have my car yet and there's brake dust all over the place! I hope all I have to complain about is cleaning my wheels every time I drive it...... If it ever gets here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that you may NOTICE it more on the GT500. It may be the color of the wheels, the airflow around the wheels, etc...it might have nothing to do with the brakes themselves. Besides, I'll bet the swept area of the brakes is much larger on the GT500...does your '04 have 14" rotors? Edit: The other thing I can't help but wonder...what if you guys hook up the brake cooling ducts that are "ready" made in the front grille? I'll bet the increased air flow keeps much of the dust off. Who is going to be the first to try this? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
