Ok, I installed my 30mm Z32 front brakes 2 weeks ago. Brembo rotors slotted and X-drilled, Axxis metal master pads. and SS lines.
And here is the problem. They have been working fine ever since i installed them. Nice pedal feel, lots of stopping power. But today I actually had a chance to hit the twisty back roads and test them out. After a few hard stops (not to many, like 3-4) I started gettign wicked fade, and the pedal was soft. And i could smell the brakes burning! **even saw a cloud of smoke come off of them as i stopped** This didnt even happen with my stock setup. It go so bad that I could have full pedal depression and it didnt lock. I got out and looked everthing over, No leaks, fuid at the same level.
And now that they have cooled down they dont seem to bite as hard as they used to.
What gives? Could the pads just be total crap? I am out of ideas here, help me out.
