I gave up on my brakes yesterday.
I haven't had the car out for a month or so when I decided to take a friend out in it.
The brake pedal was mushy beyond belief. I believe all my brake issues started (for real) when I did my completely failed experiment with DOT 5.1, which must have ruined the master cylinder.
Also, when I inspected the rear brakes, they were worn halfway down after a single track weekend.
So I finally gave up and ordered a new (upgraded) master cylinder from Caterham. I am also trying to hunt down the Outlaw M-16 replacement, but it seems like they are no longer manufactured. They are listed in Outlaw's catalog but nobody is carrying them.
I'll start to dig into wilwood brakes. There is an M16-MIDILITE over in europe, but it is not listed on wilwood.com.
