For you guys tracking your S2000. Are you changing out the brake fluid? Recommended synthetic tranny fluid? I heard Mobil One Synthetic ATF is used by a number of race teams.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I have used R4S on the street/track with good results going thousands of miles and over 100 laps at the track before they got below 50% where they are more heat sensitive and can begin to crumble. I still use the R4S front and rear on the street, and on the rears on the track (with Panther+ on the front).

I spoke with one of the engineers at Porterfield (after smoking my second set of R4S's) and he told me that I'd spend less money buying separate pads for track (R4) and street (R4S). Supposedly they'll outlast the car that way.
