Evening folks.
I have MiesterR coilovers, stock front brakes and Pierce 4 point brace. I have never had luck with the Pierce brace being tight enough: During AutoX taking a very hot sharp turn would cause a "pop" noise that would continue happening until I tightened it up even more. I lived with this for about 10 sessions. Today, I did not have the standard pop but a whole bunch of little pops. They sound like they are coming from the center of the front of the vehicle, caused by sharpish turns, low speed and high speed. An additional symptom: My brakes consistently sucked for the 1st and 3rd hard braking spot of the course (driving straight, push petal to the floor, brakes working at like 60%) The 2nd hard braking spot the brakes felt like normal. The only difference I can tell is that i slalomed alot before the 1st and 3rd and not really much of any steering input before the 2nd. It is as if the brake pads got pushed in extra with the steering and thus I would of had to pump the brakes to reseat the pads properly.
I went home and pulled off the pierce brace. I cannot test the brakes AutoX style but the noises are still there unchanged. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Visually all bolts look seated and I do not see anything weird. The wheels seem solid when pushed and pulled on.
