Nice cyn drive man. yeah i feel ya on the brakes fading. in fact, in my car my front rotors actually warped from constant canyon driving, with 3 other guys in the car lol. not good for a 93 lexus es300
Stick shift, I typically downshift and let the engine slow me so as not to heat the brakes all to hell. The deer sorta screwed that up for me on that run :)
I felt bad for the guy holding the camera. He'd never been down before.
Actually, that's an incorrect assumption. If the brakes overheated, the removing material from the brake disc (drilling and/or slotting) will result in less material to soak up and dissipate the heat created from the brakes, causing higher likelihood of overheating without a substantial upgrade in brake size.
From the sounds of it, you just need DOT4 or DOT5 brake fluid and maybe some nicer pads to get rid of fade issues. Drilled/slotted rotors are a horrible idea.
my friends clutch gave out at the end im going down that canyon again tomorrow

I can't believe your brakes held up till then, my Evo's brakes barely lasted the whole run. Then again evos have kinda shitty rotors...
Bravo for making a video that accurately represents what its like to drive here, not one of those super smooth ones.

are you gonna upgrade to slotted brake disc's, that will elminate the braking problem
