1. Did you change brake fluid to fluid that has a high temp rating?

2. Are they track rated pads?

Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Change out those pads bro. They will overheat and fade long before the fluid. You're just wasting that expensive SRF by using it with stock pads

gotcha! I just replaced lines so thats why i had that fluid in there cause i needed to fill it anyway, and has a higher boiling point than rbf 660.

also, should I replace front and rear, or just front?

any pads you recommend?

Replace both front and rear. I started out with EBC Yellowstuff pads. As I got faster. I switched to the Carbotech pads.
