What track and how hard are you on brakes in general?

well it's a sprint day at lakside and its my first time on track, my pads are gone, so i want some that wnt fade and some good fluid, i dnt know how hard i use them, so im not much help there, im a noob when it comes to this

but in general, i try to do as much engine braking as possible

Maybe someone familiar with Lakeside can comment on how hard it is on brakes.
Other than I can only recommend just getting new pads and fluid (and flushing the whole system with new fluid)
Getting race pads and high temp fluid probably isn't necessary first time out.
The advice in other threads for SW20 probably holds just as well for AW11 though.

ok thanks rob...

I run Motul RBF660 brake fluid and use cheap, Ferodo Excel pads without any issues.
8-9 lap stints at Wakefield, the cheap excels never faded once.

If I had a bit more money though, I'd be putting some DS2500's onto my AW11. Had a pair on my S13 years ago, and they were epically awesome!

thanks heaps arron!!!

I am using some QFM A1RM pads in my Adub with Protex rotors and Goodridge braided lines. I am setting up to get it on the track. I haven't had it on the track yet but it stops well so far. I went for the QFMs because they were reasonably priced and got good reviews from people using them on the track.
They drive fine when cold too. About the only thing against them is they are a bit dirty and will black up the wheels pretty quick but I can live with that.
I am using castrol heavy duty fluid after recommendations from a few guys I know who rally. I think fresh fluid is is probably more important than fancy fluid.

Holy Thread Revival, Batman!!  Check out the time difference between post #7 and #8 . . .

mmmm.
New to this thread stuff.
Probably need to pay more attention to the post dates.
Nevermind there is bound to be somebody obsessing over brakes somewhere.
 
I will update anyway after I give the new pads a workout
