I recently cooked my brakes too and found that after about 500 miles of driving they came back with no problems.  You will get a different pedal feel with performance pads as they are made from slightly different material and not like the OEM ones. I had this on my FRS when I put Black diamond pads on instead of brembo and had to push harder to get the same level of friction.....oh and annoying brake squeel to go along with it as they were almost race pads!  I soon switched back to the brembo pads and all was good again  :smiley:

Talking to Jim at JKM earlier and he's had a similar issue with his brakes after fitting OEM Pagid pads.  Swapped them out and all was ok.

I'm running Pagids in my R32 fronts and they are great.

I spent a couple of hours at ACR today, their conclusion was that I need a new master cylinder :confused:
Brakes were rebled, abs pump bleed, everything else checked aswell :sad1:

Said the same thing to me on Monday.

However if you now need a new master cylinder i can't see how logging for a remap would cause that to fail. Might just be a coincidence that it was about to go anyway.

How much is that going to set you back?

Boiled fluid can cause damage to the master cylinder seals, which ties in with the long pedal issue. Also check the seals at the calipers.

I've been quoted £250 with genuine parts. I thought it might be a coincidence, but as dave pointed out, might be the boiled fluid has damaged the seals :fighting:

I would want to know how a professional tuner has managed to cook your brakes whilst logging  :chicken: I cant see why they would even need to touch the brakes.  :popcornsoda:
