I also have a GT500 and I can confirm its normal. Mine does the exact same noise with new or used pads after pumping the brakes.

Really appreciate the advice :). The racing season here starts around November and somtimes not until December, with ambient temps around 20C its not too bad. I will eventually upgrade to 2 piece rotor and better pads but I just got my EC-7 wheels and I need a couple of safety/reliability...

Yep, imagine my surprise the very first time going to this monstrous track with Hawk HPS pads, lol. Fortunately I wasn't brave enough to go that fast and still cooked them, which made me look seriously into brakes and now I have about every mod one could do.

Yeah its really fun, and fast too which means brakes get really toasty lol. There is another configuration for the inner track which I like better because its not as hard on brakes.I do have brake ducts and I'm running carbotech XP10 and yet I'm hitting their limit. I think its because of the...

Finally got around to upload. Couple of notes, this is my seconed fastest lap, fastest was 2:34.74. Also I'm braking a bit early because I was having brake fade.

BTW, I thought this was just for the signature. I didn't know it would post a thread 😅

You got me 😆. I've been on the track a couple of times only so I don't have a lot of videos, but I'll post one as soon a possible.

It started with a car I must have, then the fun weekend car, for some time the daily, and now its my track car. Who knows what'll happen in the future. This is the Build Thread for The car that does everything.

Make sure the suspension is loaded when you torque the bolts, it could be binding and making the sound. Also, you do need to grease the outer surface of the bushings.

I see, well the stock brake setup is more than capable and can go beyond that with upgrades. Given that you have the basics, brake ducts and a good pad, you can buy stainless steel pistons, SS lines and upgrade to two piece rotors and that would be more than enough without breaking the bank on a...

Well I searched Brembo's website and I only saw 6-piston calipers listed specifically for the BOSS302. I saw 3 options, 2 of which are cast aluminum which are the GT line. These are like the OEM calipers so there aren't any upgrades there. The third option is the billet monoblock (GT-R line)...

Nicely done, I've been thinking of upgrading my brakes as well. Looking forward to your review.Also, is there a washer on the rear caliper slider pin?

I've been also researching brakes for my car and this is what I concluded. The larger rotors and pads are about heat management while keeping the balance of the brake bias. If you haven't had issues with overheating then the 4 bot / 14" will be fine. Unless you'll run aero or stickier tires...

Hmmm, the problem is not so many manufacturers publish these information. I guess I'm gonna need to redo my calculations and dig a little deeper.
