brakes fading - help!!!
i just had new brakes put in a couple weeks ago - stoptech stock-size discs, hawk pads, goodridge lines. bled the system 3 times and there is no air.
brake pedal fades and at hard application car takes a while to stop as if the pads aren't fully applying on discs. discs show slight heat scoring from this. no abs kicking in either.
any suggestions or advice???
i'm thinking master cylinder - any help is appreciated!!!
thanks

checked the calipers and they are moving freely; nothing hanging up. checked the abs unit and there was still some air trapped in there so pressurized the system again and bled and now pedal fade is gone.

needs more track time

They are. The R4 or R4E work for track only use. R4S is a street pad. SleepR1 used to use them if you care to search for his old threads as well as those from ptrhahn and others.
This isn't new info. There are some good threads on this topic if anyone wants to search and read.

that's a good point but i was having trouble before even with street application. replaced the master cylinder and bled the abs unit and it is much better now - back to normal.
