Brake upgrade

[Hydratech®]

Hi Ken I'm tickled to hear that all has indeed turned out excellent for you. Thanks much for the follow up post, as most don't take the time. Got pics by any chance? As much as we all like to talk about it, you know how we all love pics!

If you are happy now, just wait until you get a few hundred kilometers on your installation. The brake response will firm up considerably as the pads bed into the rotors, and the brake assist unit loosens up / settles in. This will require a firmer overall pedal effort overall, though welcomed as the braking will modulate very nicely. Do please make sure not to overheat the brakes at the wheels between now and then (of course, right?)

Power steering systems will run at general engine compartment temps, so 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit are typical. Initial PS temps may also be elevated until initial aeration of the PS fluid clears out. If you have continued elevated PS system temps after a few drive cycles, or the system gets crabby after a hard pounding session, then the following discussion will help:

I took it for a drive yesterday. The braking is absolutely brilliant now. It seriously is better than my brand new ute. Thanks for a great product,Ken.

Between Kore3 handling the brakes at the wheels, and Hydratech putting the squeeze to the package, it certainly better be better than the brakes on a stock ute!
