Don, I originally had a medium compound pad but was not happy with the brakes when they were really hot on a road course. I then went to porterfields r4's, I think. When they are cold they do not work great, just o.k. But once they warm up(2 corners) they work really well. I have never been completely thrilled with the pedal and now the spongeness. I have not vented the pads, I have the original pin drive rims. I don't think I am cooking the pads at this point, just the fluid. Hersh, I see your point about the master and its closeness to header heat. I still think I am going to change the seals and go to willwood or castol nonsynthetic fluid. I just thought of something; at willow it was the first time on the goodyear bias ply slicks, they probably generate a lot more heat than the hoosiers, maybe some of it went thru to the calipers to help cook the fluid. Maybe this is overkill, but I had rather be as sure as I can be when dealing with the braking system. Thanks, Scott
