This isn't a question of how to build up brake pressure in the braking zone, but rather what can one do to their brake system to have a quicker pressure response. Right now I'm using OEM hardware w/ SS lines, but carbotech pads; and the peak pressure build despite a very heavy initial app'n isn't building up as quick as I'd like it. Either that, or the XP10 doesn't have that hard of an initial bite (which I really don't believe is the case)

The system is in top top shape. (new fluid before every event, and I keep everything spotless and well lubed)

 

Are you really good at bleeding the brakes too?

 

Are you looking for more leverage for the brake pedal (ie shorten the pedal stroke yet require more force?) What is prompting this issue? Is too much time elapsing between the time you step on the pedal and the initial braking force?

 

There are various pressure valves that are placed in line for racing to maintain a given base pressure. You can buy these at any good raving store. But I thought the later cars all had that electronic initial pressure compensation.

 

You need to be more specific in this description.

Are you trying to say that you have to move the brake pedal farther and that takes more time to accomplish?

More specifically...

Do the pads engage the rotor as soon as the lightest pressure is applied? how far do you have to push before that happens?

Once engaged, how much pedal travel must occur before you lock up or activate ABS?

 

interesting topic.....
