WT Fiesta brakes

Anyone had to put brakes on one of these?

Mine aren't completely worn yet, but they are shuddering badly. Already been machined once thinking i am better off just replacing.

Any comments on how much and what brands have been used would be appreciated

So i have asked Ultra tune to quote me,
RDA rotors and bendix pads, $460 fitted. Labour is a bit up there but the convenience of the shop being a walk away is pretty hard to beat when working around work hours to get the thing there.

Based on my research its 50/50 on RDA rotors vs DBA rotors so ive gone with Ultra Tune. Booked in for Monday.

I'll keep this thread posted as obviously there isn't much information about brakes for the WT on here.

Cheers.

New brakes fitted today by Ultratune. Only drove it home for about 1km but notice pedal feel is good and barely have to press the pedal to bring it to a stop.

Again will keep updated for others.

Thanks for posting about your experience fiestaz.

Now that you've had a bit more time with the new brakes, how do you rate them now? Do they feel as nice and progressive as the original brakes?

I'm interested in your setup - which Bendix pads did you end up getting?

Looking to replace my WS Fiesta brakes, and currently looking at either DBA or Fremax rotors, with Remsa pads.

Brakes have probably done about 2-3000kms now, the pedal feels a little bit harder to push on, but it comes to a stop nicely and smoothly. They seem to create a bit more dust than the original brakes did but i'll see how they go.

Not sure exactly what type of bendix pads are in it, they are probably just the run of the mill ones, nothing special.
