Hey all just signed up. I get lots of brake inquiries on this car all of a sudden so I am doing some research.

Welcome aboard! Thank you for signing up! I’m glad you found is...

I just read through the brake judder thread. Good OP for sure - a few stubborn owners. 4000 lbs, 400HP, AT and small Brembo's with street pads......yup we know that recipe

So is your company coming up with new pads or something for the Stinger?

I am in Apex NC and I just got a Stinger GT2 if you need to check anything out with the car. I am curious about whether the brake issue is fixed for 2019 or not.

 

[KNSBrakes]

I am trying to. I have a customer who went to a road race event. We only installed front track pads and the D1001 shape (same as Hawk HB453x.xxx btw) fit correctly but I didn't have access to see his rear pads. He sent some pics though and I think we have the rear pad ID'd.

Kia is doing the brake pad counterweight dance - and apparently using a poor compound so we are looking to see what's available and present good options.

Would you let me put it on a lift? You'd get the worlds longest brake explanation while I verified the pad shapes I'd probably be able to get SS line measurements as well.

Yep, tell me about it. Fred Andersen Kia shaved my rotors at 12k miles and I promptly swapped out the stock pads for Girodisc. Haven't had any more issues since (about 10k miles ago).

Welcome, I look forward to your input.

Did you use the Girodisc Magic or SS? The SS are aggressive as hell and probably squeal. Fronts only I think?

I have Magic. Fronts only.

Howdy. I've read all the brake threads too. It would be nice to know which "brake judder" thread you are referring to.

I will watch your input with great interest. My brakes are fine at 28K miles plus. But I am always interested in upgrades.
