I have raced many endurance races in a SSC Neon and we never had any braking issue's ( 12 Hour Summit Point, 10 Huers Du Mans, 12 Hours Homestead and countless smaller enduro's).

If any of you need brake fluid or brake pads contact Edwin at www.raceshopper.com not only does he have the best prices around but he's a Neon racer himself with an ITA Neon and a stock 01 ACR. He is very knowledgeable as its his business.

I myself away's use Castrol SRF and have never had fluid issue's. I use Hawk Blue's up front and HT-10's out back. Never any issue's. Replace those pistons when they wear and you should be all set. They do as Chris said dissapate the heat better.
