Haha makes me feel better that I'm not the only one! I heard it after I packed up the car and was leaving then had to unpack my tools and jack to throw in some worn spare pads. Maybe it is easier to hear when the brakes are not hot.

I ran StopTech 600°F dry boiling point fluid with stock pads for just under a year and about 9 track days including the last one in 90°F summer heat without ever bleeding any fluid in between events and experienced no brake issues although I brought bottles of new fluid along to the last event just in case. But I would have done a full flush sooner for peace of mind if I was going to NOLA or COTA where there is sustained heavy braking from 140+mph.

I run Wilwood 600+, never had a problem, with my 2017.
When I purchased my 2018, the pedal was a little soft, changed fluid bleed, and all was good. But the pedal did seem a little soft on ride down from NY to Fla. Maybe air got in, who knows. But once I felt soft pedal, I should have bleed brakes, so definitely my fault.
All the tracks I’ve been to were very heavy braking , 135-140 down to 60mph LRP, NJMSP thunder and PBIR is very heavy braking 140+

Has to be, because on the way home, it sounded so bad. So when I got back home, I just parked car, was flying back to NY nxt day
I figured I’ll do brakes nxt trip down

I've used this on multiple applications and it works great.

I’m going to try this product, thank you for your input
