Brake Pedal Travel after SS Lines and Race Pads
 

Hey Guys,

I recently did a brake overhaul on the 86 (SS lines [Stoptech], new pads/rotors [CSG-Spec CP & centric blanks], RBF [Motul 600]) and while the brake pedal is super stiff and responsive, it not longer travels enough to properly Heel-Toe. I seem to remember a thread on here about adjusting the brake pedal height but I cant seem to find it anymore. I know about various clutch pedal adjustment write-ups but cant find the thread I'm thinking of. based on looking at diagrams, I have a conceptual understanding of how to adjust the pedal height however I'm unsure as to the existence of negative side-effects with making the adjustment. Anybody have any insight?

Cheers

Another option is to get the Verus throttle pedal spacer and leave the brakes alone.

A throttle pedal spacer seems like the answer.

You'll find that if you're heel-toeing under AGGRESSIVE braking, you'll be deeper into the pedal and likely in a more "matched" position.

This is a large part of why CSG always tries to match the complete braking system (pads, calipers, rotors), to the tire and aero of the car!

Are you on the stock tires?

Hey Mike,

This is Nathan. We spoke via email. I have Factory "Aero" and am on 225's.

EDIT: I agree that under aggro situations this problem may not present itself but its something I've noticed while running some of the local canyons so the answer may be I need to push the car harder.
