    What is the recommendation from the group for dual-purpose brake fluid and pad upgrade for mostly street/some track use?

    Gary, brake fluid is key. I suggest ATE Super Blue or Typ 200 (same stuff, different colors), Motul 600, Ford Heavy Duty (no joke) or Castrol SRF (the absolute best, but very expensive) for 360's on track. None of them will boil as the stock OEM fluid will.

    As for pads, I (in my 550) and others here with 355's & 360's have had great luck with Ferodo DS2500's, as a great mixed pad. Try www.cobaltfriction.com for best pricing (I have no affiliation whatsoever with them).

    Enjoy your wonderful car!

    Thanks for the tips! I don't see the Ferodo pads offered at cobalt friction. Am I missing something?
