extremely cr#p brakes
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 8:18 pm
Ever since I've had the car, the brakes have been rubbish, I'd sort of got used to it but I have had a few scary moments where I'm just not stopping quick enough.
The servo and master cylinder aren't that old having been replaced by the previous owner, the pedal isn't spongey and I've changed the fluid anyway as well as the pads and cleaned the disks (GTI setup).
The handbrake works a treat so I don't question the shoes or drums although I've not looked at them.
Any ideas?
Is there a very simple and cheap upgrade like a bolt on caliper with a bigger piston?
Any pointers much appreciated.
