Brake fluid, Motul 600 or other RACING brake fluid, complete flush, bleed brakes after every race.

Race Pads: Carbotech Panthers; they stop, don't fade and don't eat your rotors like Hawk blues(great pad but buy lots of rotors), Panthers are good for street as well but may squeak more and dusty.

Rotors: Slotted keeps pads clean, stay away from cross-drilled, will crack for sure. Holes get clogged up with brake dust anyway so whats the point.

Cryogenic treat rotors and pads, will last much longer and resist warping.

Cool your brakes: remove dust shields and add 2-3" ducting from front of car to inside, center of rotor, makes huge difference.

Once off the track, don't set parking brake, will warp rear discs.

Coolant; run 80% distilled water + bottle of Red Line water wetter. Make sure car has an oil cooler. Install a bigger rad $$$$. Add a hood scoop to remove air from behind rad and turbo (thats hardcore)

Remove A/C clutch fuse and turn on A/C. This will run rad fans constantly without losing horsepower.

Open windows and turn on heat, direct it through outer upper vents, point vents out window, this really works if coolant temp climbs.

Use highest octane you can get. If track has race gas, buy it. Its expensive but makes huge diff in power from a turbo as it keeps your timing , specially if hot.
