Brake upgrades for track use, rear discs, 4 pots?
Couple of questions about combatting some braking problems I experienced on my last trackday. Current setup:
Standard rear drum setup, all reconditioned/new 14,000 miles ago
256x24mm front ATE calipers, vented discs, various pads used
The problems I had were:
1) The rear drums stuck on after I came back into the pits
2) The fronts were fading after several laps. (I rigged up ducting pointing at the disc and tried to use the M1144s but it didn't work too well).
What I'm thinking of doing is:
1) Converting the rear brakes to discs/calipers and biasing them correctly, to give a more reliable braking when hot and hopefully not overheat and seize on
2) Upgrading the fronts to a larger disc and "proper" calipers, e.g. a 280mm 4 pot setup.
Questions... Is there anything I can try on the drums to stop them seizing on like they did? Also is there any chance I could upgrade to a "proper" caliper and still have fading problems?
