[QUOTE="toofast4u, post: 574282, member: 3891"] 1) The best brake fluids are Ford High Performance Brake Fluid which has a 550 degree boiling point and Motul Racing Brake Fluid which has a 585 degree boiling point. I use the Ford stuff because it works good and is a lot cheaper the Motul. Buy the Motive pressure system it makes changing fluid easy and fast. Change the fluid before every track event. 2) Switch out the stock rubber hoses with a good DOT stainless steel hose. I like the MM hoses as they have banjo fittings to allow correct alignment and a clear urethane covering to protect the steel braid from damage. 3) Buy a good set of pads depending on applications you might want to change between a good street pad and rotor set-up and track set-up. Don't buy rotors that are drilled they are cracked prone, but a good set of slotted will work well. The stock pads suck and if you did this with the stock pads that can be the root of everything you experienced. 4) Melting the dust boots is normal and nothing to be concerned with. They are a soft rubber bushing and I don't no anyway to correct this. I know several people who run without them without any issues. [/QUOTE]
