I'm just really serious about serious brakes.
BC.
BC, Have you ever driven the Dragon?? I only ask because Even (itsky) drives usually 2x a year all the way from CO to the Dragon. I am sure CO has some unbelieveable roads, but putting the Dragon/Hellbender to shame? I think not (it is listed on every list of the worlds best roads to drive I have seen, never seen CO mentioned). And as Doc said, we do hit it pretty hard out there, and as far as safety goes, the Dragon is about the only 'public' road I would even think about doing this.
If you are serious about your brakes why not build them up appropriately, and make the most bang for your buck? Your Dot3 fluid now boils at 300-350, my dot4 is above 600 (see velociabstract below) this addition, coupled with SS lines, makes the pedal have a fantastic feel, not spongy at all. I could care less what you would like to spend or do to your car, I am just saying I know a lot of people who abuse these cars on race tracks that have the same setup I have, I did my research and talked to the right people...
Happy motoring.
