    Wow, you guys must have to brake alot more with all that power.
    The streetstock has had the following preperation for the brakes:

    1. Stare at black brake fluid.
    2. Look and see lots of meat on pads.
    3. Quick wipe with emrey on disk to remove worst of ridges.
    4. Think about new pads.
    5. Dissmiss idea of new pads.
    6. Think about new fluid.
    7. Dismiss idea of new fluid, hasn't faded yet.

    The brakes are only used 4 times per lap at Manfield and one of them just a touch for the reassurance.

    Try the Yoshi pads man. Bloody expencive but awsome stopping power, no fade, will last half the nationals.

    I'm using Galfer pads on my Brembo's- mainly because I have Galfer wavy rotors. They are seriously powerful, fade free and have heaps of feel. They also last well. Highly recommended.

    Try the HRC pads,you havent still got the plates behind the pads? never had weak feel with CBRs.
