Brake Questions

[Kiwi_Phil]

Im looking to do an upgrade on my brakes without spending too much $$. Currently I am running DBA 4000 rotors (the old directional design) with stock rears and unknown pads / fluid I was giving it a pretty hard workout at happy laps today at the end of the QR straights and after about 20 mins pedal went straight to the floor - just went at turn 6 without indication not a fun feeling, somehow managed not to come off the track using some hand brake and gears and let it all cool off.

Just before I had the pedal at the floor moment I noticed vibrations under heavy braking from about 160km/h - Kind of like driving with warped discs haha

After it had all cooled down 10 mins later pedal was fine and vibrations gone with pedal being nice and firm again. I am unsure if this is a pad / fluid / disc issue, I don't want really bitey brakes as I do not have abs I would rather something progressive with good feedback.

Any recommendations what I should be doing? Would it be simple as a fluid change?

First thing decent fluid and proper pads.

Depending on your skill level that would suffice to begin with.

Add some ducting to help with heat if you feel nessisary

[Kiwi_Phil]

what counts as "decent" ?

Sounds like you boiled the brake fluid.

At the very least get QFM A1RM pads and DOT5.1 brake fluid. Add some ducting as well.

Don't skimp out on brakes, especially brake pads. I had no issues with using Super DOT4 brake fluid, although that was on my N/A R31.

Cheers will give it a go, do we have any sponsors that give good deals on them?
