Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Brake cooling has much to do with the performance of the brakes during extended aggressive use, such as during a de.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, it was my first time at DE. Took my '02 996 C2 up to Motorsport Ranch just southwest of Fort Worth, TX. The facility was great I thought. The track was quite technical, 8 major corners, 1 set of chincances, some off camber turns, up hill and down hill corners, and 3 major straights. My instructor and I got along great. I started out in green run group (always for first timers), but progressed rapidly enough to move up to the blue run group on Sunday. I must say the highlight was getting a ride in my instructors GTC3 cup car. The cornering and braking was mind-blowing. It reminded me and felt like the time I went for a ride in an Air Force ROTC training prop plane back in college and did loop-to-loops and twists. Anyways, by the end of the day Sunday I guess I was pushing my completely-stock car fast enough that my tires started feeling really gooey (drifting out more at track out) and my brakes started fading a bit--braking hard from about 105 down to maybe 45 off of main straight. How do I know if it was my pads or fluid? Does this sound within the limits of stock pads/fluid on a '02 996 C2??

POST 2Original post

Probably the fluid. Bleed them and see if they come back, if not you baked the pads. -Paul

POST 3Original post

If you keep doing de's and it sounds like you will, consider getting DOT 5 brake fluid and higher performance brake pads. I use ATE Super Blue fluid and Pagid Orange pads. Brake cooling has much to do with the performance of the brakes during extended aggressive use, such as during a de. There is an excellent article on brakes in the current issue of Roundel (BMW CCA). In this regard, I have had aftermarket brake ducts installed. Enjoy, Mike
