How did you prepare your brake system?
What pad did you select. Share your experience?
Thanks for the interest!

I did not turn or replace my rotors, I just put the new pads (Pagid RS29) right on and bedded them after I flushed the brake fluid. They are pretty loud when cold but quiet down as they get hot. I had no brake fade on my track day. I did have vibration of the steering wheel under heavy braking develop as the day went on. Probably uneven deposits on the rotor. After the track day, the rear pads were making incredibly loud rattling noises, since the RS29 pads do not have the little spring clip things that hold it into the piston. No big deal, I pulled the pads out and put a lot of pad compound on the backing plates so they don't rattle anymore, but we'll see how they sound after the next track day in about three weeks.
