Hi!

The brakes on my S2000 were pretty poor when I first purchased the car mid June. I ordered Bremtech OEM front discs, DS2500 front pads, Ferrodo Premier rear pads, HEL braided brake lines and Ate Superblue fluid. All fitted and run in although the brake performance is still (in my opinion) pretty weak. The rear discs were relatively new when I purchased the car but I am about to order OEM rear discs. The car is used daily and isn't driven 'hard' - so to speak.

Have tried re-bleeding the brakes incase there was any air in the system and none of the calliper's seem to be sticking.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Would it be worthwhile investing in new calliper's? Would the master cylinder be playing up?
The car has covered 120k has decent history and drives well, just the brakes letting it down.

Any help appreciated..

 

What tires do you have on the car?

 

with that maintenance you have carried out, the brakes should bite quite hard. ds2500 are decent pads.
have you checked the MC for signs of leaks?

also did you bed in the brakes properly? if not, you could glaze the disc/pads.

 

is the brake pedal mush or firm?

 

Which car are you comparing to?
