The stock brakes seem to hold up fine on the track, even in the 90+ heat. We were running some Alcon temp strips, and the calipers did get a little hotter than we were hoping, but I think that problem will be resolved once we finish the brake ducting.

The only upgrades to the brakes so far have been Project Mu BForce pads and a high temp brake fluid change. I just purchased some braided lines that we'll be putting on as well. I'd love a bbk, but the performance of the OEM brakes seems to be more than adequate for now.

Great photo Marcus

Nitto NT05 - 245/40/R18, 275/40/R18

NT05's are great btw... don't know how long they'd last on the street since they're pretty soft, but once they heat up the grip like crazy. Only time I've lost control was when I hit a patch of gravel on the track yesterday. The car started to slide, but as soon as I hit clean track again the tires hooked right back up.

I have heard great things about the Nittos but when i do get my 18's they will be daily and for the track so they are out since they suck in bad weather

interesting i was thinking id need a BBK but 7k+ for an ENDLESS BBK lol maybe when i rob a bank

what high temp fluid do you use?

[zackt69]

I'm using "ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid"... was going to get the Motul, but some of the track guys on my350z recommended the ATE fluid. I'm happy with it so far.

I did see an IP G Sedan with Coupe 19s out there and I'm pretty sure I got a good shot of him on the track. I'll edit and upload it tonight.

ummm... I was talking about you & Darren

[B L U E S L A T E]

Ahh.... I guess the Saturday's event was much bigger with many more exotic cars??? I was there on Sunday and there weren't many cars that day.

Anyways, thanks for sharing some sick shots, Marcus.

[CandlestickPark]

Haha, yeah Darren and I didn't run our cars, we were there to spectate.

Here is the other Sedan I thought you were talking about, any idea who this is?
