Motul 600 did great on the track!
I started in the novice group with PCA instructors and mine said the stock brakes are plenty capable. I would suggest changing to a higher temp brake fluid like Motul RBF600 and the Gt3 brake ducts for additional cooling. The stock brake pads will work fine but if you plan to do this more consistently then it makes sense to invest more in a set of track pads
flushed the system and dropped in Motul RBF 660. Absolutely recommended brake fluid.
I haven’t experienced any issues with the stock brake setup, but did switch over to Motul 600 fluid, Advanced auto gold pads.
On my Miata I run ATE Typ 200 and aven’t had any issues. I also run Hawk HP+ and some here would say they’re not a track pad, but for a light car they’re great.
i am going to be doing the VAQ service within the next month and most likely swapping the brake fluid for motul rbf 700 .
I've been using Stop Tech drilled/slotted rotors and HPS Hawk or Akebono pads. I also have stainless steel brakes lines. But the BEST thing is Motul 5.1 brake fluid. When I switched from DOT 4 to Motul 5.1, my brakes felt unreal!!! Like I put PCCBs on them. The difference was profound. It's no joke.
Using Motul RBF600 fluid, EBC Bluestuff pads, Dixcel disks, HEL SS lines. I go on track multiple times a year
Hey, just thought I would chime in that I had this same issue with my f30 335i and I probably found those same forum posts. I used the same ATE 200 in prep for a track day, started squeaking and thought it was the master cylinder, or just the brake pedal… then changed out for pentosin for 4 and it resolved it. Took a couple flushes to cycle it all out of the master cylinder though. But yeah, I can guarantee it’s just the fluid, but it may take a couple flushes like I mentioned.
I've used Ate Typ 200 DOT 4 fluid in many cars over the past 20 years. Never had an issue. So when my 2020 M2 Competition was due for a flush, I ordered 2 liters from FCP Euro. Used my Motiv pressure bleeder and made quick work of the job. The next day I drive the car to work and start noticing a squeak from what sounds like the brake pedal. It starts getting worse the next couple of times I drive the car. I start digging for the source of the issue and can't find it. Googling to see if it's a common issue, I find a few forum posts of people having the same issue in their F30, F8x, etc cars after using Typ 200. Apparently, Typ 200 is not a Low Viscosity DOT 4 fluid. A few owners have even had BMW warranty their master cylinder because the dealers are unaware of the issue.
