lazarus223 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 A turning point for me after I redid all the lines brakes, with new brake cylinder. I'm going about 80 just cruising on 95. No problems for weeks stop fairly good. I decided to drive to car meets on a Friday night. I tap the brakes, the off ramp is coming up I downshift and I lost all my brakes!!!I can't fucking stop I managed slow it down and stop. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 IM thinking you need to buy some jack stands first. I would never drive 80mph or 95 in a 521 as they only have a single res master cylinder and most are made in Taiwan now!!!Cheap and dont last long 1 Quote Link to comment
