Default Brake questions!!!

I have an ITR. I'm planning to bring my car to some solo events this summer and I'm currently preparing for this.

For the brake setup, i was planning on Motul600 along with EBC red stuff pads.

Regarding the fluid : Does Motul600 have to be changed very frequently, or I can get away with the same oil for all the summer?

Regarding the pads : Is EBC red stuff a good pad for some track application? Also how they feel on the street do I have to take them off before going back to the street?

Thanks

you are fine with Motul for one year easily.
it does absorb moisture more readily which is why it is suggested to change it out more frequently than oem, but that oem stuff almost lasts forever.

I dunno about those pads.... there are pads out there like Hawk blues or Porterfields that have many good user feedbacks on this site and in the Competition or ITR forum.

I like Hawk Blues for track use, but they are not too easy on rotors....

If you are doing solo-2 auto-x events, as well as street driving, you best two choices are Axxis Ultimate or Hawk HP Plus. Carbotech Engineering sells the Axxis Ultimate, and you can find the best prices on Hawk HP Plus at TireRack.

Somebody on the ITR forum set their EBC reds on fire. I wore out a set of EBC green on the street in 6000km. Bottom line: they suck.
