Up front I had the teg rotors with jdm accord si calipers, in the rear aluminum drums. Brake fluid was motul rbf 600. There was smoke coming from the drums, and the nice silver paint which had held up for years discolored into a goldish brown by the end of the day. I had to take cool down laps several times each session to keep brakes functioning.
Before going out on the next track day I converted to the rear discs and changed nothing else. Same front pads, and same brake fluid. I no longer experience brake fade at all at that track.
I should also point out that laguna is very hard on brakes. I did not have overheating problems with the drums at Buttonwillow, or at thunder hill. Just laguna.
