Anybody slowing down from 150+ mph very quickly??

[nitrorocket]

I have 4 wheel disc now. I run the 12" rear z28 brakes and factory front disc. I run Race pads at all 4 corners. The car stops great and will lock them up at will. Porblem I have is if I do a couple of real fast 100-150 mph stops, the brakes in the front start smoking and start to fade after more then a couple HARD stops from these speeds. I am going to upgrade the fronts and am real curious on if people have had issues with any particular setups with this kind of driving?

Have you added an adjustable proportion valve? Sounds like the fronts may be doing a lot of the work.

A good 'race' pad is worthless on the street and vice versa. Like stated earlier, a race pad needs some heat to start really working.

Brakes basically transfer energy via heat. Get the best (and usually biggest)components you can afford or fit in your application.

Good 'real' race pads.
Good, large rotors.
Good brake bias.
Good, fresh high temp fluid.
Cooling ducts and wheels that allow air flow help, also.

Good luck.
