Message :Any new tips and tricks with your brake ducting?
:Or is it still the ghetto fabolous ducting to the back side of the rotor?
still semi ghetto.

stock calipers (rebuild if necessary) (free)
brembo slotted or blank cores. blanks are better for track ($200 ish?)
stainless steel lines ($40 ish?)
300degree master brake cylinder support ($40 ish?)
Hawk Blue pads ($80-120 ish, depends on vendor)
custom dual 1.5" diameter brake ducts each side (4 total)
remove brake dust shield.
vent ducts to root of rotors using lots of zip ties.

no more brake fade.

:I am still having issues with my stock TT, but last time I didn't want to use the corrosive blues on my car.

stick the blues on the night before,
run your event,
take em off the next day.

rinse and WASH your rims and tires thoroughly. the hawk blue dust is highly corrosive or *something. the dust turns to this ultra hard rusted metal stuff. near impossible to get off chrome rims.

Those Axxis ultimates aren't the greatest combo pad either, they are too damn noisy on the street for a street pad.
:I was instructing a guy in a 911 and I told him to brake at some point and then I realized, haha, he can go a bit deeper than me, lol.
:Need more fade resistant brakes.....
