running Turner's Cool Willy pads and Motul 600 brake fluid.

Hey Chris,

This is Kit, the guy with the black M3 4door from the TCC event. I'd guess that the Cool Willy pads aren't up to track duty. My stock pads lasted less than 2 sessions at Buttonwillow, which is much easier on brakes than Laguna Seca... At Laguna, I could get even my race compound Hawk Blues to fade a bit. I'd try a more aggressive pad, like the Performance Friction PF90 or the Hawk Blue.

FYI, the ATE Super Blue sucks compared to Motul 600. I wouldn't spend the money for ATE, the Valvoline Synthetic is just as good and 1/4 of the price. Motul is worth every penny.
