I perfer the Wilwood EXP 600, a nice mix of price and performance.
If your looking for info on Wilwood or StopTech kits I have some good track tested info from some friends that run Road America regularly.

I used to run Motul 600 and NEVER had that type of issue with boiling brake fluid, even after running 5 or 6 30 minute sessions in 90+ degree temperatures on a fairly heavy-braking track (this of course assumes bleeding the brakes prior to the track day). I've since switched to SRF primarily because I can "cheat" a little bit more on bleeds between track days. If I go out for a short day (just a couple of sessions) I don't need to bleed the SRF before the next heavy duty track day, but I probably would have to with the Motul or risk running into a soft pedal by the end of the day.

just going by what he told me..maybe he didn't bleed out all the way?

had a c6 do the same thing with his stock dot3. both guys were faster than anybody else on the track and we were hitting 145 mph..so lotsa brakes going into the turn i am having pretty good luck with castrol dot 4 but i am easy on brakes, i hate to spin out
