    Default Urgent Help - Brake Fade

    Lately I have been suffering from a little brake fade.
    Just seems to appear brake really early on, and its beginning to get dangerous under heavy braking.
    Really hope someone can help me!

    I attached some pics of the brakes.







    *This is a piss-take, just seen the pics and thought they needed posting here *

    I see your problem. Just replace the brake hose from the caliper to the metal brake feed tube and you should be back to 100% braking in no time.

    Oh and just give the brake area a little clean incase you have spilt any fluid....you don't want any stray fluid to make the car look untidy

    Oh yeah, I've heard about these...they're those new see-through brake discs - be careful who you show those pics to, if you post them on the wrong forum every ricer's going to want a set to go with their spinning wheels LOL.
