    Brakes...what can be done to improve feeling and fade resistance?

    Hi Guys,

    First post, new to the forum. I've just got a 06 M Roadster. Still haven't driven it enough, but the brake feeling has really shocked me. It feels overboosted at the top of the pedal and it's dificult to drive smoothly. Does anybody else share this point of view. Is there anything that you guys recomend to improve the feeling and brake resistance (I plan to take it to the track and I already experienced fade with an M3 a few years ago...)

    Spent 30min on the phone w/him yesterday. By far the authority on what does and doesnt work well with our cars. Talk to him -- and consider a set of Axxis pads. g'luck!

    Get better pads... and change in some better ATE Super Blue Fluid.
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    Get some Axxis Ultimate ceramic pads
    ATE blue brake fluid, stainless steel lines, and maybe even some nice rotors (like Zimmerman X-drilled)
