What problems are you having with the standard brakes?

Re: brake options for daily fun car
brake fade, ive been taking my corolla out more often and have been noticing the brakes are fading less than midway through the sessions. i take it to mt palomar and just after a bit of spirited driving, my baking starts to get less efficient, ive also started to notice my calipers are leaking. i plan to rebuild the calipers. but do you have any idea on how i could avoid getting brake fade? i dont plan on doing a major upgrade like a BBK, but ive been looking at the project mu rotors and pads.

Re: brake options for daily fun car
Once everything is working as it should fill the system with a really good brake fluid, l use Castrol SRF and it never gives any problems. Bleed the brakes before every track day.
I use standard size grooved discs and Mintex M1166 pads on the front, 1144's on the back.
Braking is good and fade free on my tarmac rally car.
