    Pad drop!

    Driving home down a nearby twisty road that i know very well. Taking the corners nice and casual. Reach the end of the road where theres a red light coming up at about 50. Press brakes.....Nothing!

    Absolutely embarrassing rear caliper design nearly wrote off 281. I ended up running the red light. Thankfully there was no cars in front of me or coming accross the junction otherwise instant traffic disaster. Gathered my shattered nerves and limped home to the gnarly sound of pistons on discs. Not impressed.. French crap!! Takes the piss!

    I don't think it's the caliper design, it's on enough cars, more than likely fitted incorrectly.
