Also, now I've remembered - driving to the track, my pedal generally goes 1/3-1/2 of the way down, and isn't super firm. But occasionally on the track, it will get maximum firm at the top of the pedal, generally right after I've gone wide-open throttle, as if the brake booster went on overdrive. Then it goes away until maybe 10-20 corners later. Extremely odd feeling. Last edited by eeyang92; 08-26-2020 at 12:26 PM.. |

Speaking of upgrades, anyone know where to get the larger brake fluid reservoir from the M2 race car? Would that be the same part for the M2/M2C?
It at least requires cutting a small circle in the hood bracing since it’s taller. |

I do find the brakes a bit varriable in general but drove around the issue.

Interesting discussion. I have not noticed a super firm pedal like you’re describing. Panic brake assist might be the answer here. The ABS/ESP pump can trigger to add extra volume to the brakes to aid in panic braking situation and helps to get to locking pressures quicker.
I tend to get on the brakes slower at first, then push hard about a half a second after I applied the brakes. I like to let the weight transfer before really getting on the pedal. Habit from my Mustang days. I think this style avoids the ABS unit recognizing a panic brake apply and I don’t get the assist. Would explain why I get consistently squishy pedal after a few laps.

The steps I've gone through on my OG 16.
PFC08 without extra cooling - gets a bit softer after a handful of laps. How many depends a lot on the track. Higher pad wear rate. PFC08 with GT3 brake cooling scoop directed at the disk with a bit of the brake shield removed - the pedal gets slightly soft on the worst tracks only. Actually no trouble with the disc's being cooled the wrong way. PFC08 with scoop, hose and brake shield with hose connector aimed at disc center - No problems, good margins, good wear rate. No need for upgrades for brake performance, only for other pedal feel. |
