Like the title says, getting loads of brake fade on mine, dont know whether its thru heat in the disc's or the lines expanding.
Only seems to happen if I floor it kanny hard after cruising round. They are fine until then, normal braking round town seems ok. Me slabs are always fucking boiling hot after aswell as the brakes.
If anyones got any ideas let me know. Running Calibra turbo Drilled and grooved disc's and calipers.
I thought braided brake lines, any other (cheaper) suggestions are very welcome!!
Thanks

if you are using Cav Slabs, they do tend to increase brake temps massively due to their crap design.

Why normal discs? Whats wrong with the drilled and grooved?
Fingers crossed im getting some Calibra DTM alloys so should help with the cooling.

brake fluid?
over time brake fluid naturally absorbs water (hydro-scopic) thus lowering the boiling point of the brake fluid and rapidly increasing time of brake fade
