I know we've seriously tangented off of brake fluid but one more thing about the carbotech pads.
Bedding *matters* for these. You probably won't notice the difference on the street but on the race track you will find that your stopping distances have mysteriously increased if your pads aren't well bedded anymore. Lots of stop and go traffic will destroy the bedding.
These pads are the masochistic bitch of the auto world. The worse you hurt 'em the better they work. If your pads are brand new or you find that your bedding has gotten trashed the best way I've found to deal with that are either some really long stops on the race track, drag the brakes, and heat the hell out of 'em or option B. If you can't get up to 100 mph to do a decent stop, or shouldn't *cough*, then you can just go out to the freeway and drag your brakes until they are hot enough to smell and you are good to go.
