Yeah, mine does dive quite a bit. My next project is to freshen up the suspension. Well...after I get the 4.11 tranny in.

Can we run DOT4 in our systems? I'm sure that wouldn't hurt either (if it's compatible) but either way, I really should go through and flush my brakes and get some new fluid in there. Getting the old crap out of the lines usually does wonders too.

Yes it's still available from Germany. 2500.00 approx, and a long wait to get it.
Of course I might be selling my 96 soon, so just buy the car a get the brakes to
Rotors are 308mm diameter and 32mm thickness. There is more info on their website.

Another little add-on to a firmer setup that gets used (harshly) quite a bit is higher-temp fluid. While it adds no real benefit from standard DOT 3,4,5....the life will be longer. This only works if you're getting your brake temps up regularly or even irregularly but with large spikes. I used ATE Super Blue in my VR-4 after I had upgraded the rest of the brakes. I was tracking the car frequently and was replacing/flushing almost as frequently. After changing fluids, I found my braking life held up much better to high temps.

I was also on the pit crew for Steve Gingris in 2004 at the Trespassers Wil event (SCCA Club Rally Nationals). He also used Super Blue.

On brake change, which pads do you use? Shall you always order them from Germany?

I am pretty sure the caliper is the same as a Porsche caliper ( maybe a boxter) it looks similar. I wouldn't be suprised if some other pad application would fit. If not, I would get them from Germany. But I hardly drive the car so I'm not to worried.
