Brakes were great, overheated (nice smell) them once on a curvy track in the semi wet and from that point on they stopped being impressive. Dealer cannot find anything. Stopping power is still good, but the bite has gone. Maybe I have to change de brake fluid?

upgrading to carbotech xp10/8 for the next event; if they STILL don't brake on a dime (i run 048); then either it's operator error, or the oem system isn't up to snuff.

Have you checked for air in the system? Mebbie you need fresh fluid flushed through the system along with a bleed.

Willie Gee, RACER, thx for the input, glad there is a possible cause! Dealer checked the pads, but imo only for wear. I will check the things you suggested and do the necessary changes. If fixed, I will let you all know
Would Honda cover this kind of troubles under the 3 year warranty? I only drove the car (at speed limits ), stopping power was fine for the 1st year until this drive...
