    Hi, When the car is cold how should the brakes feel?
    I drove a CS the other day and the brakes needed alot of pressure to stop the car, almost like the pads were wooden!
    Is this normal until they heat up?
    Thanks

    For normal street driving and braking loads, I never noticed my CS brakes needing warm-up.

    Interesting. I have read many times about CCB brakes being average until they are at operating temp. :):)

    Obviously take longer on the street to get to operating temp than it does on the track. :D:D

    Great brake feel all the time, and as stokpro says, even better after a few hot laps!

    I have experienced this a few times as well. I had to apply extra pressure than normal. Next time in the car was as normal. This has happened about 2-3 times.

    Curious.

    Have heard that Brake Piston seizure is a common problem on CS's is this true?
    What are the symptoms?
