09 SS/TC White Sedan

Hey all,

New here from Colorado, just got the SS as a new daily this month from its previous owner in New Jersey. In addition to being a daily driver, it will also be my backup autocross car, occasionally running D-Street in SCCA autocross, and the FWD-A class for our local time attack series. I tried it out for the first time last weekend. It was a blast, but I noticed how severely the brakes were lacking. The brakes will be getting a minor overhaul in the next few weeks, and I'll give it another go next month.

Just a daily & occasional autocross car. Right now the brakes feel really spongy, and were fading after just one run. Almost feels like the pads are glazed and maybe some air in the lines. The fronts got so hot they were smoking. Not sure what kind of pads are in there at the moment, but I ordered the Power Stop Z23 pads, and some ATE Type 200 fluid.
