Brake fluid
If you brakes are getting hot, it could be a couple of things. And there are a couple of things you can do to prevent it or reduce it.
First you could have moisture in your brake fluid, and when your brake fluid gets hot the water will boil off and create air in your lines which is why the brakes fade, because the air is being compressed. So you would need to change out your brake fluid. The rule is once a year...and you would be surprised what kind of crap builds up after only a year... And go with a good racing brake fluid.
Second, what type of pads are you using..Metal Masters will heat up quickly. I personally use Hawk racing pads on my 911 on the track, I have yet to get a brake fade. They disapate heat really well. So the quality of Brake pads is a factor as well.
These are two main areas where you will need to start. If you get brake fade after these are corrected, then you need to look at your driving habits...
