Swapping to stock euro r brake kit
Re: Hi
Hi Bro how do we check if our hub run out?

I used scientific measurements, formula and proper measurement technique to ascertain if stock brake is up to the necessary performance. Firstly, CL7A is too slow on a long Sepang track to need big rotors. But the original stock 282mm is really lacking in some ways. When I upgraded to 300mm and re-run measurement, everything was okie. The 300mm easily lock up the front wheels, and EBD constantly kicks in. But on Sepang track with a slow CL7A, braking is not important at all, so to think BBK is required on a stock CL7A is questionable on Sepang.
Yes, brand name, with lots of $$$ is better, but there is always something better when there is no budget limit. I never say they are not good. A 4pot with the same hydraulic bias, and same 300mm rotor size will improve pad longevity over single pod, and provide more consistent result over the lifespan of the pad.
I have tested using back wheel distance measurement compared with another CL7 with a branded BBK. And the braking distance was within a few centimeter, when braked from 140km/h. And you think the BBK was better. Nope, my 300mm stock caliper came out shorter. But again, it is difficult to tell, as while we were on same tyre, the BBK needs a bigger rim, and thus more weight (inertia). Maybe my hub run-out was tighter. Maybe, and maybe because the EBD kicks in more furiously, when using BBK with more bias, and lose 'grip' ...but within error of measurement, I would put them to a draw.
I have not heard of a stock brake failing, so far. But I personally knows two bro who went back to stock, after their BBK failed. Bad installation or bad brake, I dont know, but I can say it was not the super big brand.
Maintenance is most important. I replace the seals on my calipers every 3yrs, and properly flush the hydraulics. Maybe that's why my brake works on and on. Caliper does not have wear and tear, other than the seals. If the seal is replaced properly, even a 2nd hand used one, is as good as new.
1. Check your hub run-out
2. Rotor is not wrapped.
3. Caliper with good seal....and you will know if it really works..
Lastly, servicing of seal on caliper is not something for every workshop. There are 3 types of grease being used. A special hold-out tube is required to install the piston without mixing these grease. Sadly, I am not aware of any workshop that will make a device specially just for CL7. Let alone a clean-room wiht clean hands to apply the grease.

my fren, run-out is always measured with a dial gauge lor..

Re: Swapping to stock euro r brake kit
CL7A is 282mmahceng79 wrote:Hi thinking of changing to stock euro r brake kit from my current cl7a brake kit,will i notice difference in terms of performance?
CL7R is 300mm
both pads are identical so 18mm increase in diameter ==> 9mm each size. Small improvement only
Better you keep front stock & upgrade rear to Pro Kit 300, you will in fact get better braking and reduce nose dive with this set up

CL7R - 4 pot 355mm & Pro Kit 320mm in 18"

great for taxi with load behind......but make sure one knows how to drive with "oversteer" and understand the EBD before upgrading the rear ...I can only say most drivers does not know how to manage it..
Pls dont ask me for wkshop, as I know none...I only know it is safer and faster to fix cars on my own.
