Normally I wouldn't go to the track on stock pads and fluid, but there was a gap in the travel schedule and the opportunity presented itself. Had to go!

I think my car had air in the calipers from the factory, I made it just a few laps at Mid Ohio before getting fade. Air was in both *rear* calipers.. not heat related as the rears get very little heat in them.

Switched pads and fluid and they were smoking after every session of course but they were fine. Next event at Sebring they were smoking badly and fluid boiled during cool down driving.. oops.. then the rotors delaminated.

I voted pads first since that's the route I did take.
