this is what i was told to run on my mod havent had to change nothing yet but this wwas recommended by a full mod every weekend racer

brake pad set up
LF hawk RF stock pads
LR hawk  RR hawk
every 9 race change brake pads and rotors

said rotors can warp and cause issues and all im running is dot 4 or what ever standard fluid is for braking systems and i bleed my brakes like you bleed on you car if im doing wrong i would like to know.

I recomend the Wilwood B compund pads, these are a pretty aggresive pad without eating up the rotors too quickly, they are pricey but they work.  I also recomend Wilwood high temp brake fluid as it will hold up to the rotors and calipers getting hot as compared to stock fluid which will boil at a much lower temp and then you start loosing your brakes, the other problem is once you get stock fluids hot they tend to attract more water into the system which compounds the boiling problem.  I recomednd against the plastic brake lines, use steel or aluminum, as much as most guys don't realize it but the plastic does expand under pressure and you loose some of the feel and firmness, also keep all flex lines as short as possible as these expand and swell also.
