I own the same black MK8, and after ruing 2 sets of brakepads in 4 trackdays the first thing that I changed was upgrading to a big brake kit. Rollbars and extra HP are nice, but not if your car cant handle them for more than 10min. Would recommend to all, the biggest weakness of the car, just like they said. Now the car is a beast and can keep going all day!

wich big brakes kit did you put on it ?
@rexmaris46409 ай бұрын
I put 4 ferodo DS500, racing liquid for brakes and metal hoses. I use to drive fiesta by mountains roads every week and i dont need more. But if some day i drive to much and very hard, the brakes still get hot. But u have to be an animal for get tired your brakes. In a circuit i think is indispensable to improve brakes in any car. By the way in more pretty is blue performance .P.

@JustPit9 ай бұрын
Brake cooling can sometimes be required (especially with high performance pads). Braking is converting friction into heat. The better the friction, more the heat. Thus, can happen that better pads perform worse because of small brake discs that heat up quickly, especially with weak or no cooling. Heat can not dissipate quick enough, causing resins in pads to evaporate intensively and eventually brake fluid to boil (especially if any moisture it fluid) .
@ssnerd5839 ай бұрын
as a 5x100 Subaru driver I can attest that this is a fact. I bought a sheet of 6AL4V titanium and made some brake pad shims that helped tremendously with the fluid boiling.....also using the SRF fluid helped as well.

I have the previous gen FiST (182) and about the brakes "issues" the key with this architecture is to deactivate all the safety modules (which I did minus the abs). The car is another animal, it has even better rotation, no timing cut when spinning, and better than everything: no overheating brakes. I can do 30-40 minutes session, I will loose intercooler cooling way before brakes. Setup : PBS pads / Brembo plain discs / braided lines / RB600F.

You can push it as hard as you can, there’s always enough grip for the 1.0 Ecoboost. 4 years with the Fiesta at the moment and more than 90000km without any problems.
