[QUOTE="Black Cobra '99, post: 15699378, member: 138833"] Hello every one, So I finally went to my first open track event :cool: (more on this later) and I think I experienced brake fade. Two days before the event I changed my old pads to Hawk HPS and brake fluid to Motul DOT 5.1 (rated to 522*). The new pads had a great initial bite and didn't need much pedal travel. So, just before starting the final session the initial bite was gone and I needed to push the pedal quite a bit. Its not that nothing happens, its more like, more pedal travel for more stopping power. The car still stopped great and it actually still feels like this right now. So I'm a bit confused on what happened. Rotor temp after the final session was 646*, Hawk's website says the HPS optimal range is 300-500* and max is 700* The brake fluid reservoir was 169* [/QUOTE]
