    Default Poor braking when at high speeds :(

    g'day have a bit of a question..... my brakes seem to become really crap at high speed braking... it feels like the pads rnt gripping the discs when they get hot... i suspect the quality of the pads as ive bled the braking system and it feels like its working fine. the discs are ok aswell.

    If you Calipers are old you could have sticking pistons/slide pins.....Best bet would be to get it looked at or if you know what your doing pull the calipers apart and check em out..I had seized slide pins on mine, the brakes still worked but very poorly..Rebuilt the calipers and it made a huge difference...
