Suggestion · Original poster
I would like to use the above set up as my c2 brakes are no where as good as the m5's were (discs and pads are in good condition and brake fluid changed a week before I bough it).
Leading evidence: 'Replace week' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace week' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

hi, this is my first post on here so be gentle!
I've bought a c2 1998 (will get some pics up when it stops raining!)
I used to have a e39 M5, with Castrol SRF and goodridge braided hoses + yellow stuff pads. This gave me enormous stopping power and I could go round oulton park 6 or 7 laps before having to come in to let the brakes cool down.
I would like to use the above set up as my c2 brakes are no where as good as the m5's were (discs and pads are in good condition and brake fluid changed a week before I bough it).
My question is, what is the procedure in regards to adding SRF to what I have in now, what can or cant it be mixed with and whats this iv heard about bleeding the clutch and ABS line? My local mechanic was a bit cagey about doing it????
A step by step guide would be the perfect answer! thanks guys, great site!
Hello Rich,
A few things to note about brake fluid, but first - are you sure your car needs this - Porsche brakes are extremely good. Are you mistaking less servo assistance (in comparison to most cars including the M5) for poor brakes?
911 brakes have less servo assistance in order to provide more feel. On a conventional system like the M cars have, the first inch or so of pedal travel applies the brakes without your foot actually being directly connected to the fluid, in other words you are simply operating a switch (well a valve) that applies the brakes for you. Although this makes the brakes easier to apply (important with a heavy car like the E39 M5) the driver is completly insulated from the tyres and the road surface and therefore has litte idea as to what is happening there. Not so with the 911. I don't know whether you have ever driven a racing car but if you do you will be amazed how difficult the brakes are to apply (for the same reason).
If you can repeatedly take the brakes into the slip ratio zone (ABS operating) with no fade, your brakes are good. Porsche engineer their brakes to resist fade with 26 successive applications. My M3 was good for 3 corners of Oulton!
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
