I will try and do install next weekend if possible. It's my first time on track, I am not planing to hit it hard. I am planning to take look at counterspace garage pads for track and road use if Hawk aren't adequate. I will take a look at GLoc as well. |

Autocross != Track Very different requirements. For first track day you'll be fine though especially since it's TNIA. I would still recommend doing fluid though. Have fun - focus on relaxing - let us know how it goes! |

I had ordered Hawk 560 fluid which doesn't seem like much improvement or I would have changed it this weekend. I placed amazon order for castrol srf yesterday, if it gets delivered this week I will try swapping both next weekend. There is open drift event that I want to check out at evergreen parkway on next Sunday, not sure if I should participate. Last edited by ruturaj001; 05-14-2023 at 10:39 PM. |

My options are 1. Do fluid and hawk HPS 5.0 pads now, next year change to Ferodo DS2500 when doing fluid swap 2. Do 1 but swap for Ferodo DS2500 and try selling hawk pads later as used 3. Do fluid only now and later install Ferodo DS2500 4. Do nothing for this event, Install Ferodo DS2500 and fluid swap in a month I would prefer to do everything in one go. Removing each wheel is tiring but also don't wan to compromise safety. I don't think I can handle doing pad swap for every event. I would do fluid swap once a year as SRF seems to last well.

Similar experience for me, but in a different car (Mk6 GTI) for a full track day.
I swapped fluid but not pads. I was in "learn mode", didn't drive all that aggressively, and had an instructor on board. When I pulled off track to the paddock after my last couple of sessions, my brakes were smoking, but the pads were actually not that bad off. I like to think the higher temp fluid prevented any overall stopping issues related to the fluid boiling. |

Thank you guys, seems like I might live through this one.
Castrol SRF fluid is getting delivered tomorrow, if I do end up changing it, I am going to do pads as well and install camber bolts too (whiteline top and SPC bottom) while I am at it. |

Oh, congrats. I can see that taking priority. I am a grown man with no children, or a man child. So no responsibilities for me.

@ruturaj001 highly recommend the bmw car control, you’ll learn a lot unless you have already learned it and even so doing some skidpad work with a car that’snew to you is ideal.
