I used to have ap's everthing single weekend i would have to copper slip pads or they would sound worse than a bus.
you can buy a blue glue for this that you apply to the pad and it glues the pad to the pistons to stop them moving. i wll find out the name of the stuff tomorrow at work

it means that they are crap and probably are the cheapest nastiest four pot conversion you can get for the r, unlike brembo or ap ive had willwoods twice and they are crap,
thats why third time round i got hispecs,and it seems them too are crap:sad:

how can a brake hose turn a caliper if its bolted down correctly?? or am i missing something, you need to grease the parts of the pad that come incontact with the caliper i.e the piston areas and the sections where the pad sits in the caliper with some special high temperature pad grease

i dont know how it is turning my callipers:?
you tell me,all i know is that when i put my foot on the brake there is a grinding stretching noise travelling from pedal to calliper and the callipers have slight movement in them,
there bolted down correctly,i eagerly await your reply

i also have the billet 4 p0ts my are spot on never had any probs with them...

 

[nismo-400R]

what are the best brake pads for the hi-spec billets 4 pots?

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

where do you get the play is it pulling the caliper away from its mounts or is it a rocking movement side to side, my wilwoods never had any play in the caliper atall

it wouldn't be you wheels fouling the calipers would it? In which case you would need a wheel bearing replacement. How much clearance do you have between your calipers and wheels?
