If you're into fast cars and racing, you'll know that there are a lot of things you can tweak on your car to make it perform better; engine, suspension, wheel and tire modifications can all make a big difference, but one key thing that many people overlook is the brakes. I started autocrossing two years ago in my Subaru WRX. It's a great car to learn on; the turbocharged 4-cylinder boxer engine packs enough punch to accelerate quickly and the AWD not only helps you get the car up to speed quickly, but it helps you carry the speed through the corners too. But the biggest drawback to a WRX is its brakes. It doesn't have the same 4-piston Brembo brakes that it's bigger brother, the STi, has. So after my first few autocrosses on my stock brakes, I realized they needed some love if they were going to stand up to the abuse I was giving them.

Since I was only racing every other weekend, I didn't want to get anything too extreme; I needed a brake setup that was tough enough to not develop brake fade after a few hot laps, but easy enough to live with in my daily commute. So after doing some research on the internet, I found that my stock brake lines at the caliper were actually made of rubber! Rubber brake lines flex, which can add a squishy feeling to the brake pedal. So I decided to add a set of stainless steel brake lines and upgrade my brake fluid to a DOT5 racing fluid while I was at it. I also wanted the brake pads to have more initial bite after I hit the pedal, so I upgraded to a set of Hawk HP brake pads. They seemed like a good compromise to me as they are marketed as a performance street pad and I had read a lot of good reviews on them.

After getting these parts installed, I went for a quick drive and I could immediately tell the difference. The brake pedal was much firmer and the brakes were much more responsive to my pedal inputs. At my next autocross, the improvements in my lap times proved to me that improving your braking system really can make you faster! The better pedal feedback and higher friction pads allowed me to brake later, producing a higher average lap speed and slightly faster lap times. Plus I was able to do all three laps without experiencing any brake fade, which meant my brakes still performed well when my tires were hot and sticky. I certainly wasn't the fastest person out there, but I could tell that upgrading the brakes had made a big improvement to the way it performed on the track.

In case you have questions or need even more specific information, here are a few additional resources about brakes and auto parts like brake rotors.

Ducati 1098 - Strictly Pro

The Ducati 1098 was built using superior race technology and then given the tweaks necessary to allow it to be used on the road. Trademark Ducati features like the high tail rear and unique front end aerodynamics give it the unmistakably gorgeous looks we are accustomed to when reviewing a Ducati.

The sizzling looks are important but are nothing without performance; underneath the sizzling body is an engine that is quoted by Ducati to be the The most powerful , lightest L-Twin in history and consequently the 1098 is also the fasted Ducati street bike ever made. This was made possible by reducing the weight of the main components and adding them to their record breaking Testastretta Evoluzione engine design.

The Ducati 1098 also has also been given extra stopping power with the addition of Brembo Monobloc brakes, which give it outstanding braking ability and also the weight saving single- sided swing arm. Another first is the integrated data acquisition system and information rich instrumentation, which both come straight from the Ducati Moto Gp racers.

You can see immediately that that this is a thoroughbred race bike and loaded with attitude. The shape and contours mold the rider into the form of the machine, which automatically gives it the best aerodynamics imaginable; It exudes quality and breeding whilst giving the feeling of power and performance with every twist of the new elliptical throttle.

In addition to the standard machine, Ducati have two other awesome models:

The Ducati 1098 S flagship model adds a host of high quality special parts compared to the standard machine. High spec Ohlins front forks feature low-friction sliders and sport the latest mono bloc caliper mountings working on twin front discs. It also sets a new standard for lightweight performance; it addresses this important area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing weight by 4lbs. The weight reduction makes a huge difference to the handling as the front and rear wheels are now super lightweight. The weight reduction is also helped by mounting a carbon fibre front fender, front mudguard and cooling ducts

The Ducati1098 S is also comes with the Ducati Data Analyzer system which is standard equipment. The Data Analyzer allows you to retrieve data so you can analyze the data collected from your previous track session or road trip. The DDA package also includes software for your personal computer on CD, together with a data retrieval USB key and instructions.

The third option in the range is the Ducati 1098 s Tricolore, however it is a limited edition for 2007 only, The Triclor is available in an Italian flag inspired red,white and green colored theme. Ducati began the Tricolore tradition back in 1985 with the famous 750 F1 and then decided to theme the limited edition 851. The latest Tricolore 1098 S not only has a special paint job but also boasts additional features of frame and wheels finished in traditional racing gold colours. It has also been given a power-increasing 102 dB Termignoni racing muffler kit with dedicated ECU.

If your looking for a race inspired motorcycle this has to be he one; Ducati have certainly been able to capture the excellent speed to weight ratio and Italian design expected from the many fans and have produced a future legend in the Ducati 1098.

01 Mustang GT steering wheel vibrates when braking. New Brembo rotors, pds applied. Camber is out of specs..?

My steering wheel vibrates under braking from 50mph +. I applied new Brembo rotors, pads, Cobra calipers, etc, but still vibrating under braking from 50 mph and above. Previously, I did hit a curb after spinning the car and damage the front end (ie. left front wheel hit curb). Had that repaired but now this steering vibration problem is appearing. I did an alignment and it shows that the camber of the left front is way negative and out of specifications. Pepboys tried to shift the OEM caster/camber plate as much as possible but still showed very bad camber.

Does the caster/camber kit from Maximum Motorsports correct this problem that the OEM plate can't ?

Has Anyone experienced this situation after hitting a curb?

How do I fix if problem is not the alignment?

Should I get the insurance company to reexamine the car and its suspension?

!!!!!!!!!!Seriously, Please I would appreciate Experienced Answers Only from Mustang Ethusiasts/Technicians !!!!!!!!!!!!

I own a shop, and have seen this issue before. 90% of the time the vibration is caused by a warped, or cracked rotor. You will have to have it turned, but do both sides at the same time, so it will be even. Camber cannot be set properly unless the wheels are running true, so also check to see if you have a warped wheel. I've installed the kit you are talking about, and it does give you much more adjustment, but one must rule out any other cause too. The wheel (rim), and the rotor both must be running true, before the camber can be adjusted properly. Another thing you may have is a seperated belt in the tire, so you may want to consider having that checked too. Yes the kit may work, but if you don't fix the problem, then the kit may, or may not work depending on how far its out. When you apply the brakes at 55 mph, the rotor is turning a lot of rpm's, thus the pads are hitting high spots hard, and low spots soft. This causes vibration, and a nudge in the brake pedal as it slows down usually. You may have a bent the spindle, and this would do it too. Start by inspecting rotors for cracks, turning the rotors, checking the wheel for run out, inspecting tire for broken belt, and you may find the culprit. If you stop the vehicle while running along side your car in another car so you can see the wheel, you are looking for the wheel to move from side to side, or up & down. If it has any up & down movement, it may have a damaged strut allowing the wheel to hop. If its hop, then the rotor may not be the problem, but a tire or strut issue. You can have the rotors turned on the vehicle, and this is the best way to do it, but not that many shops have a machine to do this with. Make the kit your last resort to get the camber under control. Don't forget; the camber cannot be set properly unless the wheel is truning true. If you hit the curb hard enough, a bent spindle is a reality.
Part 2:
Has the car been lowered? If it has, then this is what the kit is for. It's for correcting the camber enough to keep the inside of the tires from wearing out. Big rims, and low profile tires will make it not have enough camber. I have installed these kits, and they are for correcting camber, and not for fixing anything that may be bent. If you have a bent component causing this problem, then the kit may not fix it. It will only correct some issues, but the design is based on one with a normal camber, and one out too bad will have to be dealt with accordingly. If the camber was alright before you hit the curb, then doesn't it stand to reason something is wrong besides just being out of camber. You must find out why its out, and not just try to correct it with a part that's made for another issue. 99% of the time something else will show up down the road, and you will still have something else to deal with. Find out why its out, Don't just look for a quick solution, or you will spend money on it, and still have a problem. Rule #1 is fix it right the first time, and you'll be glad you did. This rings especially true if its something that could break, and cause you to loose control of the vehicle at 75 mph. A good front end shop can find it right away, as they are equipped to straighten out wrecked vehicles. They can even straighten the frame if thats what the problem is, but they can find it right away. You will be glad you did.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
