Ur welcome

Thanks for everyone that responded I'm in between three cars right now s2k, Z, mustang gt. I was aware of the issue and fearful of it, which is why I created this thread. Which it appears that from some of the responses my fears were well warranted.
Thanks guys and gals.

Given the cars in your search, you may find these threads helpful.

M4a1 and I have both owned all three cars you are looking at, so can probably offer a little more depth in answering (some of) your questions.

Hawk DTC 60 pads up front, RBF 600 motul fluid in the lines, and my brake worked just fine, and im not a slow driver on track :P

Any luck?

Did you order?
I know they got 10 sets ;)

Guess not.

Wow bro you just love to watch yourself type HUH? Get over yourself your not as cool as you think you are. Man I wish I could be a god on this forum like you and continue to start Sh** with people with no negative consequences from the higher ups.Why dont ya go start another thread about how much you hate the Z.

I'm just asking you to back up your statement. You said you had a source, would love to see it. I am genuinely curious and would be happy to be proved wrong. No need to take everything personal.

:iagree:

Why are you getting so offensive? All he asked was for you to back up what you said. Seems like a reasonable statement in this technical discussion.

I'll be swapping out the brake pads and fluid on my base brakes and see how they hold up at the track. Will be going pretty easy for now since I'm just starting out. Since I am a beginner, can you guys give me some tips/hints on how to identify brake fade/failure and what I should do if I do recognize it while I'm on the track? Thanks :tiphat:

Source or :gtfo2:

Softening pedal and increased ABS intervention are the primary two indicators. Problem is once you get that you may only have 2 corners before things go horribly wrong. You won't really know except with experience whether what you had was just routine issues or an actual problem.

Thanks! Probably gonna take it easy for now since I will be without an oil cooler and on all season tires. Just doing a hyperdrive, not a full HPDE so it shouldn't be too hard on the brakes. Hoping to gain enough experience to recognize these things and act appropriately when I do full HPDE's next year or at least not freak out and freeze if it happens :icon17:

For a hyperdrive as a first timer I think you will be perfectly fine, especially with upgraded pads and fluid. Have fun!

Will do :tup:

It's funny, I might actually be out at Summit Point in a Lambo/Ferrari before I go there in my own car. Bought an exotic driving experience thing for 2 laps around Summit Point. Should be a fun first track experience :p
