Break fluid and pad recomendations please
As my first break fluid and pad change inches closer I would like some recommendations on break fluid pads (OEM steel rotors). I use my car mostly on the road and do 4-5 HPDE a year. When I drive the car I do ask a "lot" from the breaks. I would like to prevent break fading and it would be "nice" to have less dust than OEMs.
Thank you!
Thank you!

How hard are you pushing it on track? Personally I would recommend keeping with stock pads and stock fluid and just changing them regularly as needed. Don’t mess with aftermarket stuff unless something about stock is breaking down for you. The dealer will point at the aftermarket pads if you ever have any issues with the brakes, which is one additional benefit of staying OEM.

I use the breaks pretty hard, and in the one DE I did, I noticed quite a bit of plush/soft and later fade. I just replaced the fluid with OEM.
I think I will keep OEM pads for warranty, maybe try the SRF which I use in an AMG..

I was just informed of a "brake cooling" recall on my car. Apparently some guiding ducts are missing ?!
Nothing mentioned yet on the PCNA recall check site though (https://recall.porsche.com/prod/pag/...f/VIN?ReadForm)
I wonder if that contributed to the accelerated brake pad wear ...

I agree that a lower wet boiling point implies worse performance, once the fluid has absorbed moisture. However, I don’t think this implies a faster rate of moisture absorbance. In fact, I have Endless in my daily and I’m embarrassed to say how long it’s been in there, but pedal is still rock hard. I’ve been told that Endless needs very infrequent changes...
