The beasts are fitted.....some crap pics page 15

funnily enough i took mine with me today, nice and sunny and have my own car park at work so park it across 2 bays but honestly these BBKs on normal day to day use are shite... they are noisey, the don't brake well as road use doesn't get them to temp and the track pads i use cover the wheels in a dust so thick it actually is visible on the car... the squealing got to me today so bad in traffic that i started using the handbrake to slow the car. Theirs always compromises with these things sadly... :headbang: :thumbsdown:

Is it worth swapping the pads out for a more road biased version, then dropping your track pads in for the sprints?

At least then you can enjoy the car on the road during the summer?

probably should do this tbh but its just bit of a faff.... but they do go silent after a track session for about 2 weeks then the squealing comes back, its a proper vibration squeal too. lol.
 
I used to have the squeal with the Alcon 4 pots on my racing puma when I changed to an aggressive pad. The number of times people told me that my brakes squealed was unbelievable - like I couldn't hear it :poke: .

They did perform fantastically when pushing on though :driving:
