Sure, this is a re-run.

I ran the track and got brake fade 3/4 of way into each session.

I just want to upgrade the pads and fluid right now.

What do you recommend/are using.
Wear is not a factor. I want the best stopping power for the stock FOUR calipers/rotors.

Do I need to replace the M/C with a bigger unit and what are your feelings on the prop valve vs "tee" arguement.

Also considering the SS brake lines.

Thanks and thanks to Mark for helping with the brake bleeding on track day.

get rid of the snow-plow so your brakes get some cooling air !!!
