supraman Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 The original pads and rotors had 52k on them so I decided to go with the economical BAER Decelera Rotor and Hawk Pad setup. I have put about 50 miles on them so far and really don't feel any improvement. ..I still have mushy brake feel and the truck really doesn't stop like it did when it was new...? I still have the same fluid since new as well (52K ago). ..I'm sure Question: Could the fluid make the difference? Could it be the missing link in better stopping brakes? This is all I can come up with unless they just need a little more break in. Any and all advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Fluid has a big difference if you burnt the fluid earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnblwzd Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Perhaps a set of Earl's hyperfirm brake lines would improve things more. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimsoftball Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have Earl's lines and ATE Super Blue Racing fluid with stock pads and rotors and it alone made a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, doing line and fluid at the same time makes sense. Seeing as how you'll have to bleed the system pretty good for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdxtreme Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 These might help as well! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What type and brand of rotors are those. I am looking to upgrade my break setup and i am looking for some good rotors and pads, also information about good break lines to replace with as well.
