My Akebonos performed very well at Road America with Carbotech XP10/8 pads and RBF600 fluid. Really no problems pulling the Z down from 125mph to about 30mph in turn 5 after the middle straight. The dust boots were toast, but that's why I did the brake rebuild and posted the DIY. Worst comes to worst, I'll rebuild the brakes at the end of every season. And the project this winter will be some custom brake cooling...we'll be glassing our own scoops for our kit if there are issues running sufficient ducting from the fangs.
