Seems a bit overkill on stock brakes, but then again you've got Brembos

I experience alot of brake fade in many situations and i think cooling of the rotor will resolve that.
-Brake fade due to heat On the autobahn happens alot especially when you have to slam on your brakes when a semi or audi jumps in the passing lane going half your speed, and it happens all the time. Thats why its not good to go fast on long trips because you will for sure be putting alot of stress on the brakes but short trips to and from work are fine.

-When i was on the Nürburgring (which i will go again in a month or two when the MX is on the up and up) each turn seemed that the pedal went down further and further (brake fade) after a break of the engine and brakes cooling down everything was fine, but i bring that up because once i go to california i plan on a supercharged DE setup or a N/A rebuilt ZE and with that extra power i plan on at a minimum one time each month going to willow springs and going toe to toe with a few doubters and brembo cover haters

you are probably thinking "well hey why dont you get willwood or some new big brake kit" but i dont want to lose my mazdaspeed wheels and i think the brake that are on it (when at a good temp) stop the car just fine

---------------WARNING MINI RANT.....
I may get into autoX as well but i dont know if im good enough. The tracks are always too small. Im working on a tuned STREET and TRACK machine and it seems autoX is mostly straight track only car setups. As far as drag goes its kind of boring just going in a straight line and i think the MX will need ALOT of work (goldmember) to even be a threat to the RWD V8's and straight 6 monsters out there.
But its all in good fun tuning and racing a car. I dont take it serious at all its just a PASSION and hobby of mine. I hope to one day race at tsukuba the the MX-3 although crazy dream but i think its a realistic farfetched one
