If I may ask----how many track days do you do in a year? And when you say you put fresh fluid every track day, what happens if you attend a track weekend? Do you literally mean EVERY track day? So you have to bleed at the end of Saturday in preparation for Sunday? Or do you leave it in the whole weekend? And are you doing a minor bleed just to refresh mainly what is in the caliper? Or are you completely flushing it every time?
For me, putting fresh brake fluid every track day is just not practical. I can leave SRF in the system for a year without issue. I never have a soft pedal. Of course, I also give credit to the AP kit for being able to dissipate heat quite efficiently.
