Well the fluid is going to get changed immediately anyway. It's one of the systems I haven't gotten to yet. I am looking at going to cross drilled and slotted. What do you think? I hear that the drilled "and" slotted are hard on the bake pads but very effective. Or, should I just go with just crossed drilled? I'm looking at the Brembos but I don't particularly like the gold color. Are they really gold? I have very nice zinnitti 5 spoke 18 x 8's in crome and the discs are very visable. I don't think that I am going to like the gold in the middle. If this doesn't solve my problem, I'll look at a set up with larger discs. Thx.

Since I've owned the car, I have never felt that the braking system was adequate. I am going to do something. Just don't know what yet.

It's happened a couple of times. The first time in a parking lot luckily. This time is it really got my attention. Fortunately, it was in bumper to bumper traffic. I don't even want to think about it in hard high speed braking conditions. I'm going to solve this one quickly.

It was a visual inspection. I plan to pull the wheels off this weekend and take a closer look. After that I will take it out for some hard braking and check the fluid. The rotors where smooth at least on the outside. I'll have someone mic them for me or pick up a micrometer. Thx

I purchased a 94 sc400 about 8 months ago. The car is incredible. It now has about 75k. I've noticed a couple of times that the brakes have faded when slowing down to a stop and the car continues to move foward as the tranmission down shifts. I actually bumped into the car in front of me at about 5 miles per hour today on the highway in bumper to bumper traffic. Is this a rotor and pad problem? Or, is there something more complex? I inspected the pads and rotors. They seem to be OK. There are no leaks in the hydraulic system. Do you think that I just need new pads and rotors. I take the car religiously for fluid inspection. I changed all the fluids after purchase but have not replaced the brake fluid.
