996tt brake upgrade ideas?

soon2be: some race applications use brake fluid recirculation systems to help keep the fluid temperatures down. You can find some info on that and (race) braking systems in general here: <a href="http://www.prosystembrakes.com/technical_info.htm" target="_blank">Pro system brakes technical info</a>

This unit attach's to the master cylinder.

Some events have restrictions on rotor size, caliper specs. So they turn to these for extra cooling. While certain other events have restrictions on recirculators use. Mostly circle track stuff from what I remember. They cost about $150.00 and from what I understand work very well, certainly less then a set of giant Brembo's.

Outlaw makes one, that is self-bleeding.

When I did my only track day, my brakes boiled and failed from overheating. It spoiled my fun as the car performed well in every other way. If I put a gt2 front on, will I improve braking? Will the aerodynamics be screwed up if I leave the 'regular' tail. I don't want to change pads to go racing and I can't stand 1 millisecond of squelling. What pads should I use and how can they prevent my brakes from boiling w/o different fluid? What fluid do I run that I don't have to keep changing?

CJV. I'll check on it.
Dan Press, is supposedly the most knowledgeable on this subject. They have a nice looking unit that is supposed to work on all calipers. I've got an email in to him.
They have a diagram of the system there as well, under brake recirculators.
