OK, going to do my first HPDE event this spring. After studying this and other forums I have accepted the advice that the stock Brembo's on the car will suffice and that the part that has the room for the most improvement and upgrading will be me. With that said are there any other things that I can do beside new pads, and probably rotors since the car has 63K miles on it, along with a fluid flush and refill (will use Redline R-600 since I have inventory) as far as the brakes are concerned? I will be putting solid rotors on, so no drilled, slotted, or two-piece, etc. Are there any other tips, tricks, or advice for a car that is a daily driver, only about 1500 miles year, and those miles are while driving to enjoy the experience.
I suspect that HPDE will become something that I will want to do more of to develop my skill level and although I am not averse to spending a bit more to get better parts, I also see no reason to spend thousands on brakes at the skill level I am at now, so I have decided to go with OEM pads and have contacted Tim at OP because of the accolades that he has been given here. I look forward to hearing from all of you so thanks in advance.
