Glad you had such a good track experience.
FWIW, the brake setup on YELODOG is stock except for the following:
1 - Removed splash shields from the front hubs.
2 - Use Porterfield R-4 race compound pads and shoes.
3a - All pistons rebuilt. Use silicone fluid (ok, don't throw rocks. I know all the bad things about it, but it works great in the JH and my 911).
3b - All lines were flushed with alcohol and dried prior to silicone conversion.
4 - Bleed brakes after every track event. I have speed-bleeders installed, so it's a snap to do.
On the 5th lap at Summit Point, I get a little fade on the end of the straight - carrying about 115 mph. If I back off a bit, it's OK. If I were racing for position, I would change the brake system, but I'm doing this for fun, so it's no problem. No problems with rear stopping power.
Good balance, and neutral drift in corners with 205/50 Yoko A-032.
I must say that the JH is not as stable or comfortable as the 911 or my '98 Neon ACR. JH rattles and shakes a lot more, but is a challange to drive.
