domandmel Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 on our eg6 rally car we use braided lines (made our own) castrol 5.1 fluid and ADL discs (standard parts available from CAmberley auto factors) and DS2500. Never ever had brake fade or retartdation problems on a 10 mile stage with regular heavy late braking from silly speeds and the ADL discs are very rarely changed either.Dont bother with grooved or drilled discs, complete waste of time for what u you want bud. Oh and get a brake stopper too, which stops flex on the bulk head, makes a big diffference too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and get a brake stopper too, which stops flex on the bulk head, makes a big diffference too Well this is exactly what one finnish time attack driver told me. But since the deck is (or is trying to be!) also a bit show, i think i'll be getting grooved discs anyway, just to get the look. For a brake stopper i was recommended this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TEGIWA-BRAKE-STOPPER-HONDA-CIVIC-EG-INTEGRA-DC2-/171430553182?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27ea0ea65e An extra 50€ + postage... this is starting to turn into an expensive project! As always... I'll have to get in touch with Hel to see if they've sorted out the problem with the short rear lines. But i didn't really get you, Tom, you said you sorted it out by complaining meaning that you eventually got the proper lengths, or just got your money back???

domandmel Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thats the stopper i have too.I have HEL lines on my deck and had no probs at all. longest lines on the front, shorter to the rear and they have one less mounting bracket than the standard hoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mtec discs all round and need front discs as they are completely shafted. Tramlines on them and pedal kicking back etc due to the warptness of the discs. Are Black Diamond discs any good peeps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it never really got ALOT of abuse.. Also if your looking at that price range there is TAROX too .. They're supposed to be a good disc ..

domandmel Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 the brake stopper made a huge difference mate! @burbleboy Unless you are going for the look then you really dont need super fancy discs, ADL discs are the best we have ever used. We tried some Tarox discs which i think were called superjapan or something, which had loads of grooves all round the disc, and after a bit of abuse a whole section the disc between said grooves fell off!

Seller bought and never fitted so brand new but opened. Good deal! I said I've stopped modding but as it's a track car, I need functional mods like stopper and discs.I so ordered 12 grooved Black Diamond discs to replace me shafted Mtec ones! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
