Hey Guys!

Just thought i'd chime in here if y'all don't mind. I've been racing and instructing for a little over 6 years now.

The problem with fade is cause by the OE pads heating up...heat transferring to the brake lines, fluid boiling and expanding in the OE rubber brake lines.

Stainless lines, Motul RBF600 or Endless RF650, and a higher temp pad should solve that problem.

I would stick with your rotors until they are done, and then upgrade to a slotted rotor to help aid in cooling. I dont recommend drilled rotors and they have a tendency to crack, and the holes just fill up with brake dust anyway! I have a rotor on display in my shop for those that insist otherwise.

As for pads, I'd recommend something like the Endless MX72 pads...they are a great pad that does well on the street and beginner/intermediate track driving. You will also find that they are quieter and less dust than the stock pads.

I'm a dealer for all this stuff...so if you need help with anything, feel free to shoot me a pm and i'll do what i can to help out!
