As with all high performance brake systems,
some amount of brake squeal is normal.
Alternative Closed Course Brake Burnishing
Procedure
This brake burnish procedure should only be
run on vehicles with the J55 Z51 factory
equipped brake system.
This procedure should only be run on a
track and only on dry pavement. Brake
pedal fade will occur during this track
burnish procedure and can cause brake pedal
travel and force to increase. This could
extend stopping distance until the brakes
are fully burnished.
1. Start track lapping at lower speeds and
lower braking efforts for three minutes
of driving. Allow for increased braking
distances due to reduced brake output.
2. After Step 1, increase speed and braking
effort for the next six minutes of
lapping, gradually ending up at 90%
effort. Continue to allow for increased
braking distance due to reduced brake
output.
3. Cool the brakes by lapping with minimal
light braking for six minutes.
Brake Cooling Kit
Prior to any track event, high speed driving
event, or competitive driving, the following
should be completed:
.
Ensure all brake cooling parts are
correctly and securely installed.
.
Install the rear lower control arm cooling
ducts per the instructions included with
the kit. After any track event or
competitive driving, remove the rear
lower control arm cooling ducts. These
parts are for track use only.
.
Inspect for and remove any blockage in
the ducts.
.
Inspect and replace any duct that has
damage.
