Anyone ever experience Brake Failure as C&D did?

Mike

yes, I experienced brake failure on my first track day at a brake intensive track. Running HP+ pads in front and stock in rear, in 20 minutes I wore the pads down to the backing plates, scored the rotors and boiled the fluid, which was valvoline synthetic.

The brakes do get extremely hot on this car, I solved the problem by switching to Stoptech Trophy brakes, which handle the heat or dissipate it a little better, and now I'm in the process of adding the stillen brake cooling kit.

I think if you just add the brake cooling kit, the akebonos will do fine. I know that had it been out earlier, I probably wouldn't have spent 7000 on the stoptechs.

btw, you will also need an oil cooler and a big gas can, because the car gets fuel starvation with less than 7/8 of a tank on right hand turns.
