The fluid is cheap, effective, and i planned to change it out regularly because of the track use. The pads - i went and upgraded to carobtech xp8s all around to get some real stopping power. I also decided that I would run the heater on max when my temps start to spike for further mitigation.
I would suggested Castrol SRF, I had the RBF 600 and boiled them going down the main straight from ~110 to 45 slight downhill. You have brake cooling which is awesome but I'd still suggest the SRF


side note: I have the 25row oil cooler and never had issues with temps in California (around 90-95 degrees)

Ill look into the brake fluid.. my fluid change kit makes life easy in that department, so its only matter of choosing the right performer.

Oil - I think that Altitude is the enemy up here. even a 34row is a hard push on the track.. The temps just keep climbing... Turbos have to go in first before i start bolting things on and making changes though.

So below is a hyperlink to a video showing a 911 turbo... What i would like to do with my oil coolers is very sililar to this (1:00 and 4:50 into the video)

I second Castrol SRF for brake fluid never boiled it even braking from 130. The stuff is awesome as clutch fluid as well. I notice an change in the smoothness or fluidity in changing gears.
