[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 15309886, member: 160791"] I attended a HPDE event at VIR with stock pads and fluid. I thought the brakes were great throughout two of my three 20 minute sessions, braking hard enough to engage ABS on entry to several of the turns. I was hitting 135-140 mph on the back straightaway. In my third session, I boiled the brake fluid and the pedal went straight to the floor without warning. After the event, I inspected the brake pads and all of them were cracked. Just a couple of things to think about if pushing the stock braking system to its limits. Fresh high temp brake fluid is a must prior to any road course event if you intend to “drive” your car. I have since installed DBA 4000 series slotted rotors, Hawk HPS pads, Ford Racing brake lines, and Castrol GT/LMA fluid for high performance street application and could not be happier in terms of stopping power and low brake dust accumulation.
