When I had my NA I purchased brake pads that were supposed to give off less brake dust which was supposed to help with keeping your wheels clean. They were horrible, had no bite at all. Had a shop bleed the brakes because I thought I hadn’t bled them correctly. Same thing. Pedal just felt soft, at least that was my perception.
All that to say, check the pads.
Brake Improvements
OE pads have always been my go-to for initial bite. Im a fan of brake dust. It gives the car character....

The consensus appears to be that dot3 was the culprit.

The video reveals the scary results of being stupid. He's also lucky the Plaid didn't catch on fire.
Thanks for posting that.

No kidding. There are a good number of "what's wrong with this picture" elements to this guy's stupidity.333pg333 wrote: Sun Sep 07, 2025 8:20 pmLet alone being on the track with zero safety gear!!!blueline wrote: Fri Aug 29, 2025 12:35 pmGood grief.
