I had some brake problems at the WCC track day. Got brake fade and was bummed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Now I have Porterfield race pads for the front and rear.
Motul brake fluid.
Rebuilt calipers and a "tee" to replace the prop valve.

I got the fronts on tonight.
Rears are off and ready for rebuilding.

I can't wait to take this car deep into the a/x turns at ridiculous speeds.

I need to bring up my 914Cup average. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

i run 320i fronts with stock rears, and i have never removed my prop valve. at the wcc i had 2 year old ate fluid that i bled ( just enough to get air out ) with castrol lma fluid and i did not have any brake fade. i dont know if that is due to my lack of use of the brakes... no i used them i lot, i was doing 100 mph at the end of the straight.

as for pads i was running pagid front pads, that i found out when the get warm they sweak, but it goes away once the got hot. my rear pads are just what i could get at a local brake place in lancaster.
