While we're talking about brakes, let me ask a few questions if I may. I have motul rbf 600 but I'm wondering if there is another fluid that has similar performance but doesn't require me to switch the fluid out as often. I know the 600 sucks up moisture more so you have to change it more often, and I'm lazy. Also, Z1 suggested Centric Posi-quiet pads which I went with instead of the Carbotech XP8's I was gonna do, along with drilled/slotted rotors, ss lines, and the Akebono caliper kit. I honestly don't notice a difference in braking performance at all from the base brakes I had. Do these perform better at higher speeds only (ie harder track-like driving) or could it be the pads that suck?

I need to drive a friend's car with the stock sport brakes to see if there's a difference or if I'm just expecting too much from the upgrade I did.
