Brakes
Street
Stages
Stainless
Steel Braided Aircraft Brake Lines
Replace rubber flexible brake hoses with Teflon lined aircraft hoses to get the firm pedal needed for performance driving.
Brake
Fluid
Flush brake fluid COMPLETELY at least
annually, but better yet, before each track event. For ordinary use we
recommend Castrol LMA DOT 4 fluid. For even more severe use, we recommend ATE
Blue Racing Fluid. We keep pressure bleeders charged with both types.
Brake
pads
Stock
brake pads tend to squeal and cover the wheels with black dust. Replacement
with Repco/PBR pads usually eliminates both dusting and squealing. For more
aggressive drivers, we recommend PBR MetalMaster metallic at just slightly
higher price.
