    Looks like your new shoes may fix the problem, then. Not sure I have ever seen a set of those wear out on any car. Amazing what 434 lb-ft of torque and drag racer gearing can do.

    I see it a lot. If not properly adjusted it is impossible to know if they are off.

    Needs to be properly adjusted or it will happen again.

    Brian- My experience has been mainly with Corvettes, which use a similar system. Sounds like the Ferrari system is not as reliable.

    The springs that retract everything JUST work and only when properly adjusted.

    I have no familiarity with Corvettes built since 1967 so can't comment other that to say I am not surprised Americans came up with a better system than the Germans.

    Hey TZ,
    Can you tell me where you purchased your Brembo Big Brake kit and approx how much it set you back? I have a 575 and I'm considering either the Brembo Big Brake kit or perhaps a set from Mov'It or Porterfield.

    As per Taz's suggestion, I contacted
    Jason Godsil, and he provided instant relief !

    Ned drums and mounting hardware came quickly,
    and at reasonable (Think: FERRARI) price.

    Still waiting for shoes from Ricambi.....

    I bought the full set, 4-wheels, from another
    FChat member, and paid about $5,000.(Used)

    Fair for both of us.......

    Looks like you have the problem licked now. I have seen some affordable titanium bolts so will be interested to see what you found.
