With OEM pads, feeling was very soft and complete lack of modulation is what really bothered me. I felt that pushing the pedal did not correlate to brake torque; pushing the pedal deeper never gave the feeling that stopping power got much better.
With new pads, yes they have much higher...
Replying to myself: very simple and quick job, you just need 13mm and 10mm sockets after you remove the wheel.
Brake performance is noticeably improved with DBA Xtreme front pads. It is still not near a sports car brake system, but almost allright for me now.
I got tired of RR brakes and ordered DBA Xtreme front brake pads.
Is it just business as usual brake pad replacement, or is there something special I should know?
Nankang MT-1 315/70-17 with OEM wheels.
No other mods, but grinding stabilizer bar bolt head little shorter.
This RR gets to explore the world quite a bit outside of paved roads, no rubbing or any kind of other issue.
Nankang MT-1 315/70-17 seem to fit perfectly :) They are very lightweight (about 62 lbs) but stll about 34.5" in diameter.
Only real modification was to grind front stabilizer bar top bolt, that protrudes towards the tire over the nut. It was not touching, but just to be 101% sure I cut it...
How is rubbing when turning front wheels? Would be very interesting to see a photo where tires are turned :)
Did you have to modify something behind front wheels?
