[urq] FW: Brakes for the UrQ

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Isn’t the Blue fluid more resistant to boiling but with the inconvenient of
needing faster replacement ?

There's a greater chance of boiling the brake fluid though, right?

L-A,

Absolutely.  But the importance of proper bedding-in can not be
overemphasized.

I have a stupid question :

If someone install super-aggressive racing pads on stock rotors and calipers
(ok, maybe G60 fronts + S4 rears), I know the rotors would be eaten in short
distance, but could a system like that provide plenty of stopping power ?

I'm asking, cause I saw a works racing Ford Taurus SHO (1989) back in the
day, Scott Maxwell was the driver, and they were using stock FoMoCo rotors,
and change them each week-end. The car was racing in Showroom stock, so
modifications were minimal. And the 4 rotors were glowing red just after a
few laps, and stayed like that for the whole race. Could this be an
alternative for us who don't drive the car much ?
