Sound good, thought about doing this mod so will be interested in the performance improvements.

I have given the brakes in my car a good flogging on the track and never had a problem while using SRF brake fluid.

There is no way on the road that you would ever punish the brakes as hard as you can on the track. Like where would you get up to 200 clicks down to say 80 up to 160 down to 100, up to say 160 down to 70, then up to 200 agian all within 90 seconds then do it over and over and over again !

i will be very interested to see how it goes particularly the balance. From the factory they tend to lock the fronts especially the front left under heavy braking particularly in the wet, and usually from low speeds where there is less weight transfer, cant say i ever had the problem from high speed on the track...maybe i was just never trying hard enough.

Some people have recomended harder pads in the front (than the rears), sound like a good idea.

Dont know about a bigger booster tho, i reckon they are overboosted allready. A good example is during an advanced driving course i did the instructer actually bent down and braked the car from 70 km/hr (in the wet) using his hand and pulled it up shorter than everyone else, just to prove its not about force but threshold braking and pedal modulation.

obviously bigger brakes and pistons etc may vary but it would be a good idea to speak to the engineer first. I drove a TA22 celica with a twin turbo set up it had huuge brakes like 330 dia but they were very touchy and not balanced and IMO totally dangerous. So do plenty of research.
