Sorry for my newbness...
Anyone able to suggest a brand/model of brake pads and brake fluid I should look for (hopefully something fairly common I have a little over a week to get what I need) Think the oem pads are pretty well worn so want to gettem swapped in time. The event is May 24. How do the oem rotors hold up for events? Hear of some cars that can chew up a set of rotors with a single track day.. |

Really good street performance and characteristics while still handling track heat. I had 2 weekends and 20k~ on them before I changed my set up and they still had 1/2 their life left.

Got the pads ordered, looked up a diy on pad replacement, looks like it will only take an hour to do both sides. Now to see if I can find a pressure bleeder anywhere local in time.

Ford or ATE fluid is very good for occasional track use. I can run for more than a year on a set of rotors and pads. I have used OE rotors, Centric and whatever Pep-Boys has in stock, no noticeably difference in life.
