So from your experience on the track you've had no fluid related problems when using Motul 600 or AP 600 fluids? That's good news.
It was mostly that they burned through the stock pads so quickly that they lost the pad protection layer (the pad material is an insulator). That allowed the fluid to quickly boil from the radiant heat. If you can find titanium shims that fit that will also give an extra layer of protection and help your dust seals survive more than 1 event. Brake ducts would be good too.
