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)

He does have a tee in place. He *talked* about a running a bias valve, because he felt something weird with the car in ONE corner of the track. You dont drive around the course adjusting the brake bias for evey corner so it doesnt really make sense to have great braking for 14 corners out of 15. My all time favorite: Carrera fronts on the rear.. turbo 944's up front. From there I go into full blown custom braking setups with Colemans or something. B |
