I had a scary experience with brake fade in my bridgeported FB on the downhill in the mountains. Also in my FC I boiled my brake fluid charging into turn 10 at Thunderhill on my first track day. Not something I want to repeat lol.

I've heard that the OEM FB brakes weren't up to the task of extended track days in heat. How were you going to tackle that in the long run? I saw in a previous post that you said pads and rotors. Did you ever think about the TII subframe swap to get the thicker and larger rotors/caliper? It's a somewhat economical (i'm a heap A$$
) swap, and people that have done it said they'd never look back. i haven't done it personally, just looking for input from people that have done it, or are considering it.
One of these days, I will drive thunderhill. I've always heard a lot about that track from here in FL. Many enduro's run there. Maybe you can coach me if we ever meet up there
