33 GTS25t brakes on 32 GTSt

[Rowdyr32]

What type of pads are you guys using in your rear brakes? I can get some new ebc greens for the front for $143, are they worth it? But I don't think they make them for the rear.

At the moment I have Bendix ultimates on the back, as I didn't want too good a pad creating rear brakes bias that would send me off the road arse first if I had to brake in a emergency

Not sure what the other guys think, but I have always ran a really good pad up front ( Racebrake RB74) and a lesser pad on the back (Bendix Ultimates)

Brakes are on the way, should be on by the end of the month

About to pickup a set of 33gtst brakes for my 32 gtst, just wondering if it's going to be a direct bolt on? do I need to get the 33 lines aswell?

Help! cheers

bolt on with your existing lines. You may need to bend the brackets slightly due to the increased offset of the caliper, but otherwise it's a straight swap.

Thanks!

so on a r32 with sumitomo calipers r33 discs shuldfit on without mods to caliper mounts etc?

[BHDave]

yup. same size and pitch on the bolts. It's 34 calipers that need the mounting points modded (drilled out).

OK got the 33 brakes installed on the weekend but the pedal feels a bit dodgy. Braided lines were installed at the same time and brakes were bled and pressure bled several times. Pedal has always been a little soft up the top but now it's soft for half the travel but is really hard down the bottom, can't really pump it up either so I don't think there's any air still in there.

Earlier in this thread it was stated that R32 master cyl. is bigger than the R33 master cyl. which I thought would give me a really hard pedal. Have I got this confused? is the list earlier in the thread wrong? do I need to get a 33 master cyl.? or is the 32 master cyl. fine and mine might just be on its' last legs?

Help!

Bump!

I'm running 33 GTSt brakes on my R32 with the stock master cylinder. I also have stock pads in back, and Project Mu pads up front, and my fronts lock up pretty easy compared to the back. I don't know if this is because of the 33 front rotors/calipers or the pads (or the 235 front/255 rear tires). I'm going to be putting on some Endless rear pads possible this weekend, so I'll let you know what I discover.

^^ What does your pedal feel like?

Pretty stiff, but not an OMG difference or anything
