Vince, a couple of thoughts.

Use Valvoline synthetic brake fluid, the boiling point is over 500 degrees, it is readily available & inexpensive, better than DOT 4 fluid.

You could run a 100% racing pad material, which will of course have a down side if you also drive on the street.

If you are running 17" wheels that permit larger rotors, I would suggest you can get into a Wilwood brake system for significantly less money than a Brembo system, the Wilwoods work great. Wilwood has a complete selection of brake pad materials to choose from, depending upon your needs. You might be able to find a Wilwood system used in the classifieds, on the mail list, etc if you keep an eye on them, you know, somebody whos "upgrading" to something else (a newer Wilwood system?) for their own personal reasons. The older Wilwood systems with 4 piston calipers & 12 3/4" rotors are head and shoulders better than the oem system.
