Default Stock Brembo BBK on Track Model

Who has utilized this at the track in stock form? Any problems with pads glazing, brake fluid boiling, or brakes becoming squishy after a lot of heavy usage? Also, do they come with SS lines or would those need to be purchased separately?

the OEM Brembos have rubber lines... you will need to buy SS lines if you want them.

I did three track events with the OEM Brembos, OEM fluid and Carbotech XP racing brake pads... never had one problem with the brakes. The only thing I've changed now is the fluid to Motul600 and Goodridge lines.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I just wanted to hear about the experiences with the brakes. I've heard of issues with the stock bracking system wear it starts to wear out after heavy usage.

I'm trying to justify to myself the extra $$ going from the Performance to the Track model.

I have a completely stock Brembo setup on my Track model and have done Willow Springs, Hallett, New Hampshire International Raceway, and Motorsports Ranch with stock pads, brake lines, calipers and fluid. My rotors have been upgraded to slotted dBas. I am waiting on Nismo to issue Brembo-compatible SS lines before switching to Motul. So far, (knock on wood), I have not had any of the issues you mention, Armitage. I think the Track model is worth getting the Brembos for! HTH.
