GTP replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.I left the track pads on between the two events because they were two weeks apart. Normally I put on low dust Power Stop pads for street driving. I drive the speed limit with easy early braking.I do know that this particular set of pads has a... (see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.Over the years I’ve noticed I get this problem more if I swap between street and track pads, even if I swap the rotors too. If I leave my track pads in when commuting, the braking stays nice and smooth. My understanding is that when the brakes... (see full post)
TMSBOSS replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.The pulse is very likely from build up of pad material on one or more rotors. When I have had this happen, I simply sand the rotors with a DA sander then re bed pads. Lots cheaper and the process won’t remove metal from your rotors. (see full post)- JAJ replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.Presumably, if you can feel it through the steering wheel, then it's the front. The weird thing is that you can't see any problems on the rotors, and I assume you've looked at both the inner and outer faces.From the feel of it, do you think... (see full post)

GTP replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.No, I am not sure that is not the rear brakes. It just feels like it is in the front.And I know about returning to the paddock. My car is automatic so that is not the issue. (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.Are you positive it's not the rear brakes?An easy way to get pulsing is to come off the track at the end of a session, roll into the paddock, come to a stop and hold your foot on the brake pedal. The pressure and heat can cause some pads to... (see full post)

mavisky replied to the thread Pettit lemans road Atlanta corral lap.No helmet needed, speeds are probably just over highway speeds. Be sure to have your driver's license and proof of valid insurance. Hot laps take place typically on Friday at the end of qualifying. The Mustang corral has been the last group to...

- TeeLew replied to the thread Sway Bar Basics - Check my Math - 5490-A???.I'm not slagging you. They have interesting things that they cover and it has the potential to be a decent source of information, but the explanations and conclusions can be wrong to the point of bizarre. They do have a couple million people... (see full post)
Stangra replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.FYI, the simple e85 test is actually measuring gasoline content not ethanol. The water in the test mixes with ethanol and the gas separates. With good e85 it's a fair test, but if your e85 has any water content it will measure as part of the ethanol (see full post)

Stan Whitney replied to the thread Pulsating braking and turning rotors.Turning them will help, but you would need to repeat the bedding in process. As far as clearing the original deposits, it takes some repeated hard braking, or a track session to do the job. Look up the gt350 brake bedding procedure to get an...

Even if you get in a good comfortable group of cars, there's a pace car setting the overall. You're not out there just let loose to set a lap record.No. (see full post)

I am experiencing pulsating braking during hard braking on track at my last two events.This is a first for my car. Maybe 10 track weekends with these brakes with no issues before now. Need some experienced input.GT350 brakes OEM rotors and...

- stevbd replied to the thread Early S197 Booster/ Master cylinder upgrade?.My understanding is that the master cylinder is identical on all s197 models, and smaller than the s550 master cylinder used with the 6 piston s550 brakes. The brake booster is sized differently for the s197 Boss and GT500 models compared to the... (see full post)
