Before I try anything too crazy I will get some ATE blue brake fluid along with some proper racing pads and see how those do.

Bump! Ferdi, I will likely be doing this a little later, but can you verify the links posted on page two are of the same products needed, given the fact the post is nearly 6 years old.
Thanks, and I will say, this is one of the best brake upgrades with minimal work needed ive ever seen yet!Mazda

good to be reminded of this post again. Might do something like this on my 323, but probably not because I'm lazy and have other cars that are more fun on big tracks (AE86!).
Regarding ATE Super Blue: whiny baby retards who couldn't tell brake fluid from other blue fluid got it banned, because retards. I think you can still get the gold version of it, but haven't really checked lately, since I still have a stock of unopened (steel cans) Super Blue.
Regarding pad compound: I used some carbotechs on my AE86, they were MUCH better than the hawks. but still needed more ducting. So I put in ducting, and also moved to Raybestos ST-45 front ST-43 rear. in my opinion, Raybestos are to Carbotech what Carbotech is to Hawk. 45-minute sessions at Brainerd Int'l Raceway.
I want to find a 5-bolt setup for my AWD protege that lets me fit 17's, because I think once I get the ST-205 drivetrain behind 320+whp, I'm going to need that kind of rubber to stick, then need better brakes to keep it in check. These darned project cars and their Wily Ways!! I will stop now, as this is not my thread, and I don't want to jack it.
