Eric, you forgot one factor... the brag factor. but I want to add a comment regarding tracking stock brakes. I SERIOUSLY believe that if you have done all of the proper things (pads, fluid, rebuild, race tires) and your getting brake fade on the track in a stockish (110hp) car..... Then you ain't driving it right! seriously, if you have a stockish car on the track you will not fade the brakes once you learn how to drive it right. By right I mean fast. The fast way to drive a -4 on the track involves not using the brakes that much. The people that fade a stock brake system on the track are WAY overusing them. The point is that you could get a brake to overheat in an EXTREME situation, but you should not. I wouldn't think it could ever happen on the street either unless being driven wrong. For example dragging your brakes all the way down a 7% grade for 5 miles.... that could probably cause brake fade, but should never be done. brant |
