Hey all! I brought the car to the track for the first time a month ago and had an absolute blast, but quickly found the weak links (aside from the driver ;) ), the worst of which was my brakes.
So I picked up all new Brembo blanks and PFC carbon pads - freaking amazing. Now, last week I went again and the brakes were fantastic for the most part, however, there was some significant pedal travel after about 15-20 minutes of track time. So much so that I had to pump the brakes going into most corners to achieve a firm pedal like I had for the first 15 minutes.
The fluid was bled with fresh DOT4 a month ago, so I don't think it's the problem. I was looking into rebuilding the calipers and I expect that I'll find tons of nasty brake fluid behind the piston.
My question is this - at what point does it make more sense to just replace calipers rather than rebuild them?
