You shouldn't be getting brake fade on the road unless you're driving like a complete mong! Regardless of your brakes, you're going to seriously hurt yourself or worse, somebody else.

The 294mm discs with subaru 4pots give me fade after one very heavy stop (tried various pads & discs) Some manufacturers do 300mm upto 400mm discs with 4,6 or 8 piston calipers. Dont want gold brembo 4pots with 330mm discs because think they would probably fade too. What im asking is how big a disc and how many pistons in caliper can go without changing rear brakes and affecting bias. I want the 400s I have 18" wheels

Brake fluid over 2 years old is recommended to be changed anyway, how old is yours? I suspect that is probably all that was wrong with your brakes.

Good grab on the Brembo's though rude not to at that price
