Official: Brake Pad Knock Back Thread

[RSX302]

Sorry guy's, It's been completely nuts this last month.

rsk68, you have it right. Nothing I did with knockback at the calipers helped. I built in .050" worth of rear caliper float. Nothing! I managed to confirm that it was the rear causing the problem by plugging off the rears, but everything I did would not get rid of it. I made it better by putting new bearings (tapered) and bigger Currie plates, but didn't fully cure it.

UNTIL!

Bigger bore master! The smaller the master bore, the more you notice it. I'm sure it's still there, but with my new 1 3/16" bore power assist system, you can't even tell. At the race track, it worked perfect. Brake bias felt very good all the time. I was so happy I could have cried. (Big Pvssy I am..LOL)My car has never felt so good. It took me half the day at the track to build my confidence to were it should have been in the beginning. Heal and toe was spot on into every corner. It was fun before, but now it's a blast to drive.



I drove a couple of C6 vette guy's around the track and they were blown away how well it's hooked up and stops.

I wish it was this way at the optima event last year. I know I would have placed much better then 8th. Maybe first! LOL ...Oh well..Lifes a "B"
