Upgrading to Akebonos? Suggestions

I upgraded to the Akebonos about a year ago and love them. I had bad brake fade once but I think it was the fluid. I have changed to Castrol

I upgraded to the Akebonos about a year ago and love them. I had bad brake fade once but I think it was the fluid. I have changed to Castrol SRF plus added brake ducts and have had no more problems. I've been using yellow stuff pads, they are dusty but worked great as a street/track pad. I just received carbotech 10/8 and new rotors to try to get more out of them on the track next time.
