Brakes = ZERO!!!
Also, ATE Super Blue is going to be more cost effective as a brake fluid. Stainless steel brake lines are in no way a necessity and have nothing to do with brake fade; they are simply there for feel.
Before you spring for the full AMS brake cooling kit, you may look into the OEM brake guides which are only around $100 and much simpler to install. If you're still having fade issues after everything listed above, then look into the cooling kit.

not all my options r available in UAE
and I do not want to place an special order right now, i want to stick with what is available in the market.
i guess i will go with AMS lines + MOTUL RBF600 and maybe OEM brake ducts for now and IF the brakes faded again I will consider the AMS Brake cooling kit
I will keep my DS2500, I dont want to change pads everytime I track, yes i am lazy lol
btw any idea about DS2500 life span? mine done around 3700 miles
thanx guys u were very helpful

if you only got 3500 miles on the 2500s then you need a better pad and you're going to need better fluid. No offense to the amsoil, motul or ate guys but that stuff simply is not as good as the endless. And I was one of the first people to scoff at it on here (publicly in announcement thread in this forum. Then I bought it. It is WORTH the extra money over the amsoil if you are tracking (it's twice the cost roughly) . The AMS cooling kit is vastly over priced. Pull the dust shields and get the porsche air guides for way cheaper.
Try the Project Mu HC+ pads. I've been running them for a couple of track days and they work great. Much high heat range than DS2500 yet quiet and civil on the street. It's as close as I've gotten to an ideal hybrid pad. Awesome 0-800 degree C heat range. DS2500 only goes to 500 degrees C equivalent to Project Mu B-force street pads.
The DS2500 is junk on track. Overheat them and they chunk apart and warp rotors. Good street pad though.
Beware of running track only pads on your car. Some of the pads have paint killing brake dust that will really mess up painted surfaces. I know from experience unfortunately.
