Patrick. Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 the pad must've been dragging the entire time in order for that meltdown to occur-weird how you just replaced it w/ OEM and the problem was solved :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I remember something about this back before the great server crash a few years back. I think others have had this issue with mintex. I could also be completely wrong though, I don't remember. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I mean it could very well eb a bad batch fof pads... I say call the mfr, and tell them. There is NO reason even imporperly bedded (I mean... you are still bedding them) within 12 miles. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 sounds more like the pads them selves just where defective and the material just "fell off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 wow thats amazing...12 miles?? unreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well there's a few things I understand now at least The reason the pedal was going down under braking was caused by the pad getting thinner THAT fast...which at the same time explains why I wasnt getting much stopping power at the front.
