So far I know I've never liked the stock brakes. That goes for my old 94 V6 and my 95 GT. Because of that I decided to go ahead and do the LMR SVE front upgrade right away. Went with the "plain" rotors. Hopefully it will feel better. I'll accompany it with a fluid change as well (still researching Dot 3 vs. Dot 4.). Right now on the street it seems like I get brake fade way too fast, and way too easily on the stock brake system. They feel decent during hard braking a couple times. So I don't know if it's me braking too hard, the fluid, or the fact my pads are pretty worn.I haven't purchased anything for the rear brakes yet. Do I NEED to do rear brake maintenance with the fronts? As in, from a brand/material perspective, should I be matching the front and rear rotors and pads? Is it bad if I skip out on refreshing the rears since they don't do much? For what it's worth, the parking brake holds extremely well yet. Last time I had the local Ford service shop check out my car, the put my front and rear pads into the "caution" range. I can afford to do the maintenance, but would rather save what I can and put it off for another summer. Does that basically translate to - do it anyways?I don't have anything set in stone, but was hoping to push myself to try out a track day at least once this summer. I know I'll fall in love with it, and so I want the best experience I can get the first time out. I figured the brake upgrade will do me well, and it will be a nice upgrade for the occasional country road cruises. Anyways, just thinking out loud. I'd appreciate any opinions and facts from you guys. I like to go into things as educated as possible.</blockquote>
