Fellow Spitphiles,
I'm wondering if anyone has comments/experiences about VB supplied front brake
pads. A PO replaced the pads shortly before I bought my car in Aug. 96. It has
always taken a lot of of pedal pressure to stop the car. I've assumed that it's
a rear brake problem, but after a complete re-do of the rears and multiple
adjustments, it's still almost impossible to lock the wheels up. The MC is
recently rebuilt. I'm getting a lot of pad dust on the front wheels. I'm
wondering if the friction material in the pads is soft, or glazed or..?? Any
recommendations on a (brand name?)semimetallic pad or other brake system change
that would help? What kind of brake pedal effort is neede in a properly set up
Spit? Am I just spoiled by years of power brakes?
TIA
