what minimal brake upgrades will i need for road race tracks?
the most popular choice seems to be hawk blues for the pads and the stock rotors.they stop great, but they will also eat your rotors very quickly. for a more rotor friendly pad that can handle the heat and has almost as good performance, try the carbotech xp/panther plus pads. stay away from cross-drilled rotors.they crack easily if you take them on a road course.motul makes the best brake fluid but is expensive.a less expensive alternative that is almost as good is ford heavy duty truck fluid.last but not least is valvoline synthetic.it is pretty good, inexpensive, readily available and if you change your fluid before track events anyway, it works just as well as the others.stock pads and rotors would be minimal requirement.
