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. KT Attached image(s) ![]() |

A proper stock system with GREAT pads will work just fine. John, You nailed it. The next "greatest" thing is the unltra expensive Castrol brake fluid. There is nothing wrong with the stock brakes. Trekkor fits in the same category as everyone else who has brake issues: 1.shitty fluid 2.shitty pads 3.worn stock components All this adds up to a person who compounds the issue by hanging on the brake pedal because the car wont stop. Get GREAT pads. Replace the lines. Get a tee. Put a 19mm in. B |
