No one has had any brake issues on track with the Brembo GT, Boss 302, or the GT500s that I have heard of. Dot-4 fluid and a track-oriented pad and they are fine.

For me, on the street with the most spirited driving (Dragon runs) I experienced absolutely zero fade. The fronts do the brunt of the work and they are fantastic.

At this point, I figured it'd be nice to inform you that the rears aren't even two-pots... they are one. It makes me laugh because I am always like, "how can these be better than the Akebonos?" But somehow they are!
