brakes touchy and jolting stop

citius · 02-17-2021, 10:35 AM

My old E36 M3 brakes felt so different than the F80. the slights tap and they just grab, hard to do a gradual slow down which make the kids in the back pretty car sick. Cant seem to manage a smooth full stop without a jerk at the end either..any suggestions. Are the brakes just this touchy. Thanks

Check your seat position, maybe you're too close? Try braking from the ankle vs quad.

If not, no idea. Practice being smooth. 🤷🏻*♂️

I have had good results with OEM for street use but they do create quite a bit of dust. My track pads are grabby when driven in the street.
