Installed SS brake lines, master cylinder brace, and changed to HKS brake fluid

After my first trackday, I realized that the car could not go more than 5-6 hot laps without brake fade. I ordered my brake pads already but my SS brake lines arrived first. Our next trackday was coming up so I decided to see if the SS brake lines plus brake fluid would make a diffrence minus the pads. I also ordered a Grimmspeed master cylinder brace to firm up the pedal.

Brake lines:


GS MCB:


HKS Brake Fluid:


Installed:



Installing the lines and brace firmed up the pedal feel a lot better than stock. The pedal doesn't feel mushy anymore, a great feeling while driving out on track. Hot laps are still the same, around 5-6 laps before brakes start fading, but the pedal seems more solid than the last time. Can't wait to try new pads and rotors soon.
