I'm assuming you're on stock brakes and castrol SRF or some equivalent. There have been a few who have had some success with modified stock systems in cooler temps, but the vast majority of folks tracking with the stock system experience what you did. My pedal went 1/2 way to the floor my first track day at Laguna. These are heavy cars with mediocre brakes. They are fine for a couple hard stops on the street, but won't hold up to 20 minute sessions on the track. I view the BBK as a safety item for tracking this car.

It doesn't really make sense, in my opinion, to chew through the stock system and keep replacing it.

My vote is for the Essex AP kit.
