Yep! When the rotors glow RED, you know they're HOT. And if the calipers turn color, you are definitely boiling the fluid, and OUCH!, the pedal goes to the floor. I had that happen with a 911 turbo I drove. I asked the owner, "when was the last time the brake fluids were changed?"....... answer: "I don't know". Well, The owner wound up paying Charlie, from Entropy Racing, $320.00 for the brake flush at the track. No wonder that it is recommended to replace the brake fluids at least 2 times per year if you do track events. Brake fluid is like a magnet for attracting moisture in the air and condensing it, Water moisture is heavier than brake fluid, so it works its way to the lowest point in the system, the brake calipers, where they get all the heat and boil.
George, good luck with the new brakes and may the brake force be with you.
