Just wondering if any trackkies have had to replace wheel bearings yet. What kind of replacement interval would you anticipate for 12-15 track weekends a year?

I want to know too but you may have better luck posting in the motorsports forum

 

I would say around 40k to 50k miles

 

I've recently been experiencing a decrease in brake performance at the track due to longer brake pedal travel - I'm thinking it could be a condition called pad knockback during high speed turns due to worn wheel bearings. Anyone experienced this?

BTW, my car has little over 5,000 miles with over 20 track days.

 

I didn't have the brake problem that you are talking about. But when I was at the track the brake fluid overheated so I didn't have any brakes!
Might be the hot weather?

 

Have you tried a love-tap before the braking zone to reseat the pads?

Wow! Do you drive it on the street at all?

You have boiled your brake fluid and now you have air in your lines. You need to flush all fluid, including ABS reservoir, then don't mess around and use Castro SRF... You will never boil SRF.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Off course I do! To and from the track

 

No I haven't boiled the brake fluid in my car since I switched to 14" stoptechs. I'm now trying the ForcedFed/Alcon/Stasis and no boiling of fluid here either. The longer pedal stroke is a condition the car has even while street driven.
