Hi guys,
I feel like I have a puzzle in my hands. I asked several people at the race track and came out with different answers. I drive a 16 GT with PP (manual). I went to a road course for the first time yesterday (The FIRM). I have done AutoX before but not track days. I decided to upgrade my brakes, and changed:
1) Brake fluid to Motul RBF600
2) Pads to Power Stop "Track Day"
I bleed the system from farthest tire from master to the closest. Went through 1.75 bootles of Motul. After that I, went out to do the Bedding process per the box instructions into the same OEM disc.
Problem:
The brakes perform really good cold or hot. However, the first time I press on the brakes it brakes lower than the factory making it too long of a travel for racing. I noticed that if I do a double pump I can get the pedal to firm up higher (less travel) than with the first press. During the whole day they never faded or failed. The pedal never went to the floor either.
Has anyone had this problem before? I can really use some help, I will like to regain that short travel that even the worn OEM pads had.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
