When putting more power through an engine you need to ensure that every part will perform at its optimum.

What is brake fade and what causes brake fade?

This phenomenon known as brake fade can be quite unexpected and lethal and I would hazard a guess that 1 in 4 cars are likely to experience brake fade to some degree.

Do not confuse brake fade with bad brakes or a mechanical fault as it applies to brake systems in relatively good condition.
