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) ![]() |

or vice versa. running real Track Pads will probably have you blowing through the first corner at an autocross (which is the venue in question). track pads work great when they're hot but are less effective when they're not. i agree with your other points without qualification. there are racing classes that require stock, solid rotors, and they can be made to last, but it involves properly engineered and fabricated cooling. i haven't seen anything lately that indicates to me that the methods shown in Carroll Smith's "Prepare To Win" (his first book, now ~30 years old) can be improved on much. |
