My man! Great job! That must have been a long day. But at the end of the day, you have the knowledge and confidence that the job was complete and done right, and that's a good feeling. I actually researched those brake pads before I purchased my F. I was trying to do my due diligence on a few service items before I made that move. I like the F calipers, may have to check out a set. Again, great job and thanks for the video. Like Troy Polamalu, you are always working! Be 😎!!
Thanks fam, pretty long day between the taping and runout testing. I honestly hate texting for runout, but I always get peace of mind doing so. Worth it in the long run for sure. I do enjoy the PS pads. I think it was a good choice. Does have a slight squeal when cold, but that was to be expected when buying. Thanks for watching man. As a Ravens fan, and a fan of Polamalu, I’ll allow it lol.
Hope you’re doing well Happy Thanksgiving from Austin ! Love the detail in this video . Mechanic or not this makes it easy for anyone to get this done .
11:43 slightly old video, but you gotta make sure you grease the pads! If you haven't already done so, definitely take them off asap and grease them. I don't run Project Mu pads, but I can't think of a single brake manufacturer that would advise against standard operating procedure greasing.
It’s funny you say that. For that segment I definitely loaded the entire caliper without the shim or grease. Had to unload to put the grease and shims back on. 100% a must. Great catch. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate it! They’re a very good pad. Much better bite than OEM, and virtually no dust compared to OEM. Don’t have to clean the wheel for months now. When I do, it’s just a light film that you don’t notice until you clean it.
Appreciate it! I’m lowered so very seldom issues with scraping since I also have air cups in the front. But I rarely need to use them to clear the lip. Get some bumper guards for the lip. The under scraping cannot be seen overtop regardless though.
I really like them. Still minimal dust like shown on the video. Due to the increased bite, it doesn’t require as much pressure on the brake to have the same stopping power, which I love. Braking is butter, and has a LOT of stopping power. I never had to lockup/engage ABS during normal driving. I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend always doing coils when possible. They’re engineered to work together. Changing stroke length of OEM struts using a spring will typically lead to more premature failure. Once that happens, you’ll get coils anyway. Or have to rebuild with labor the OEM setup for failure again. Buy once, cry once. They are stiffer than OEM and more performance oriented.
