Stormracer Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I did some brake upgrades today. But I can only do so much, so as not to get myself out of F Stock for SCCA and related events. Next weekend we have a Hill Climb, the Cascades Hill Climb outside of Ashland, OR. So I upgraded my pads to Carbo Tech AX6, Brembo LCF600 fluid, and some speedbleeders. Also did a thorough inspection and cleaning of the undercarriage. Wiped it all down, nice and clean and ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slbgtsc Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 If it is legal I would upgrade the brake lines to stainless, which will give you a better feel in the pedal. That was one of the most noticeablechanges I made to the brakes on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has the real skinny ie:Sam Strano. I would love to do that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing Solo II events, and hill climbs, road course stuff. So woohoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormracer Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 i think i remember reading sam did up grade his brakes with a GT500 package. Yes I beleive that is allowed, due to the fact that it is a "stock Ford brake system". I will probably go this route later. I will see how the AX6 pads, stainless lines, and Brembo fluid work out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormracer Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well i received my stainless lines today. Got them installed and finished the brake job. I went out and "bedded" in the Carbo Tech AX6 pads. All I can say is "WOW" what a big difference in my braking now. It is great. I must have done like 20 runs from about 70 MPH to like 15 MPH and never could "smell" the brakes. Weekend before last when I was doing some autocrossing on a road course track here I would get the fade and smell after only one lap or so. Huge difference with these pads and lines.
