Hi all,
I've had this problem with my ISF since I bought it. I expect a sports car to have sensitive brakes but I don't think this is how they're meant to be.
Basically the brakes are really difficult -- actually impossible -- to modulate at traffic stops and gos. They make a really loud grinding sound at creeping speeds too. I basically cannot do what some call a "limousine stop" where you let off the brakes in a way that doesn't create a jerk at a stop light.
It gets slightly better when I go at a high speed and brake to a stop (sort of a brake bedding), but it doesn't go away completely.
I talked to a guy who runs an F-specific shop and he said it could be sticky calipers... though I'm not sure how to resolve that.
Could also be non-OEM brake pads or something... not sure. Already had my mechanic clean the brakes best he can.
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this too. Would really be nice to resolve this because it makes dailying the car a bit bothersome at times. Really wanna resolve this because little things like this drive me insane
