Default Brakes???

Car is my daily driver and I participate in monthly track events (sebring, homestead, moroso)
looking for suggestions on:
slotted rotors / performance pads / performance lines / fluid

Also if I am missing something that could be beneficial to me please let me know

Default Re: BBK.

i knew bbk was going to be the first thing said... even if i decided with a bbk which one and why??? But for now I would still like to do my research as far as getting something less expensive together if possible, if not i'll have to dish out the cash for a bbk.

Check Stasis/Alcon or Stoptech or Brembo BBKs.

Default if you do not want to spend too much, get the stoptech stage 2 kit.

it comes with brake lines, rotors, pads, and fluid.

Default look at dba rotors, their 4000 series are good, a set of ss lines, I've had great success with

carbotech's xp8 pads, some here use xp10's, I feel that I have plenty of bite with the 8's on the track, however neither of these would be suitable for regular street use...

oh, and I'm using that setup on teh front, with motul hi temp fluid, which is flushed for virtually every event

on the rear I have stock rotors, ss lines, carbotech bobcat pads (which would be a good set for street use on the front)

it does take a lot to slow this heavy car down on the track, for me this setup has proven to brake competently, aggressively, for long sessions of threshold braking

How do you deal with the electronic wear sensors with carbotech pads? Buy new ones from dealer?
