[QUOTE="Coz, post: 15784436, member: 184704"] Totally understand. I did the same and probably still don't brake as efficiently as I should. I took a Hooked on Driving class where they pair you up with a ride along coach. A little expensive but it was well worth it. As far as the pads, I would hesitate to use them on the track again, especially with the high temps you're encountering. The pads may chunk by the existing crack and you'll end up with less surface area. The crack may also account for the noise you were encountering. Did you go through the recommended pad bedding process before going to track? I would ask Carbotech and send them a pic. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll replace it or give you a replacement at a discount. While the 5.1 is better than stock, with the high temps, I would recommend a 600° DOT 4 fluid. Your 5.1 probably has a dry boiling point of 525°. [/QUOTE]
