New Red Brembo Pads Destroyed my brake system ** PHOTOS

[SilverBillet]

yes thats what happened from the brake pads sticking too hard

That’s going to be expensive!

 

[hellno]

No someone did not use loc tight and tq the bolts to spec. Bolts do not come loos from sticking to hard. Sorry. You made a mistake installing it happens own up to it.

damn @Hatermkr i was trying to be nice saying that you just shot the boy down hard ,but i must admit something sounds not right on the story

You don’t take the calipers off to do the brakes on these.

 

[Unholy707]

2 pins, 1 lock bolt, that’s it

Not when you machine the rotors you take them off

Sounds like OP wipes from side to side too instead of front to back.

He didn’t say he machined them just replaced pads. thought you couldn’t turn them down because of the slots

But regardless...how do you log 100 miles...and not know you have a problem...somethings wrong here..

I understand that you actually can turn them?

'Not buying any of it.

'Also no witness marks on the back of those pads?

Of course you can turn them, depending on the amount of wear. Should just be a light cut on each side if your taking proper care of your brakes.

Well, at least a little bit...

I have a 10mm lip on both sides of each front rotor, is that normal?

They start out only 34mm thick.. with only 4mm of maximum wear.. if you're 10mm deep each side you're stopping on the vanes... I think you'd hear that.

 

[TraxMoe]

Isn't that like suing Dodge for making inferior rotors

You sure that it’s 10mm? Remember you not talking to your wife/girlfriend you can tell us the real measurements😉
Any way I’m hoping that’s wide and not deep🥴
Either way, no, that’s not “normal”

Hello i have ordered front red Brembo brake pads for my 18 Hellcat Widebody.
We have installed them on the professional garage.

After a driving on the highway the pads destroyed my Rotors instantly after 100 miles and i got my right caliper got off.
So i was nearly having an accident since the brake system heated up and the bolts that holding the caliper just broke.


Installation was correct and there was no problem with the initial original brake pads before.

what do you guys suggest ? im going to sue the Brembo for making this pads.

Im posting the photos check it out guys View attachment 119157 View attachment 119150 View attachment 119151 View attachment 119153 View attachment 119154 View attachment 119155

I decided to quote this post, as well as specifically download the images for future reference.

Edit: I also got a screenshot of the OP history as well.

Those who know...

 

[BULL]

For those that know why...

This is eating at me...

There's a lot to be learned just from looking at the pictures, and several have pointed out the clues already.

Serious heat went into those rotors, especially since supposedly only 100 miles went on the car...

What's the first rule of a brake job?

Right, test drive... I'm of the opinion that the "professional garage" didn't do this, or failed at their evaluation, if ANYBODY gets sued, that's the place IMO.

The deep grooves on the inside of that caliper are telling a different story, and certainly not one of immediately pulling over during that test drive.

Broken caliper bolts??

We're they properly torqued to 120-130lb-ft?

Red loc-tite?

Maybe an improper bedding job gone horribly wrong?

Ceramic pads are indeed hard, and can be difficult to bed properly, especially on used rotors, but that heat checking is worse than my Standing Mile rotors that I burned up, and looks as bad as this rotor from this test we did!


This is what a rotor that ran ceramic pads (Z23s) in a Standing Mile, for approximately 30 passes, looks like. ~175 to 30mph at .5-.7gs deceleration.



=============

This is a simulation of @TrackDay at Brainerd on the brake dyno, and what the rotor looked like afterwards. (The dyno can't accelerate as fast as our cars, but braking is reasonably accurate)

This is the kind of energy that this rotor took, (and the caliper and mounting hardware), and further, the dyno mounting bracket (reasons) is actually LESS stout than our car.
