Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

Ask for Carlos. These are the Russel SS brake lines, and they were $80 shipped. Their quality is impressive.
Also got Speedbleeders, Brembo rotors, Porterfield RS-4 pads and shoes, and ATE Super Blue brake fluid. Looking forward to better stopping and brake feel.

That is exactly what I am going to run........ Who are you and why are you reading my mind?
got the rotors last week and the Porterfields should show up this week.
I'm setting up the brakes for autocross and Track days.
For brake fluid I was originally thinking Motoul 600, but Was detered by its water absrobtion rate. the ATE super Blue just looked to be the best for dry and wet boiling points and resistance to water absorbtion.

are you doing your own install? one of the things I'm unsure of is what should I being doing with regard to the bleed out of the line while I'm installing the new brake lines. will all the old fluid try run out and should I be monitoring the master cylinder resevoir? concerned about too much air getting into the system.
you're probably going to have to drain the whole system.
I'm just doing the Rotors pads and shoes this weekend (I'm debating if I shoud get some new Drums) I was going to change the fluid and lines durring our regions off season (dec-Jan), and I havent decided if I want to do that my self, or pay some one.
