Brakes, tell me something Options

[Trekkor]

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.

You know no one is going to reply now.....

I'm not smart enough to keep my mouth shut when I should.

I'm no expert, but I do have experience with brake problems. I am sure Brad-hole will be happy to point out where I am wrong. Here is what has worked for me.
1.) Upgrading to SS lines will help.
2.) A 19mm MC is a good thing.
3.) Dump the stock proportioning valve and put in a T.
4.) Super Blue fluid is the nuts. I have boiled Motul in the past.
5.) Always bleed the system before any track event.
6.) Heat is the enemy. Brake ducts for cooling help a lot.
7.) Street or 'sport' pads are no substitute for real Track Pads.
