At California Speedway and the Streets @ Willow Springs I didn't experiance any brake fade. I'm running the Carbotech XP8 pads in the stock calipers up front, and the 917 shoes out back. I changed the fluid to ATE Superblue DOT 4. I also upgraded to slotted rotors.
These two track outings were on 500TW tires and stock suspension, and the brakes were more than up to the task of cooking off the tires after about three laps at both tracks (it's a pretty wierd feeling when the front tires start squirming around under the car while threshold braking, and getting so hot and gooey that they don't make a sound while 4-wheel drifting on corner exits) I have a set of Rota's wrapped in RT-615's for the next track day, so we'll see how things hold up.... The tires will work the brakes a lot more, but I don't think things will get to heavy for the stock brakes. If anyone is interested, Garm at www.microimageonline.com is the guy to go to for the Carbotech pads and shoes. |

Yes, some brake ducting did help. I agree, a really good track pad, high temp fluid, and some cooling ducts should be all any of us will really need. |

This car is a weapon on twisty tracks with Miatas! Gut the thing and have a total blast!

Don't know what to tell ya, Tamago. I got brake fade really bad at Carolina Motorsports Park, and a little less severe and less consistently at Sebring. With the brake ducting, I had no problem at Sebring. (Had a BLAST playing cat and mouse with a couple Miatas on street tires the last time I was at Sebring! One could barely keep up, the other one had me out-powered, but couldn't keep up in the turns until he got behind me for a couple laps and let me educate him... then the bastard passed me!)
On the stock pads, I used to get brake fade just doing a couple healthy autocross runs! Admittedly, I left-foot brake, which could have something to do with that. Maybe the xA has better airflow to the brakes than the Yaris? That's really all it would take. The Yaris wheel wells appear to be pretty well blocked from airflow, quite possibly on purpose to reduce drag. It's made for economy, not performance. |

To be fair, they are good street pads. Problem is that we need good RACE pads for a Yaris on a race track. |

Who said Yaris was slow?

Those are some nice calipers! and price is not bad
Is anyone here actually installing these on a Yaris? Wonder what would be required. Custom brackets? |
