Don, I've done all of these things you mentioned. I'm using an OG duct kit with backing plates. I think the problem is a deteriorating master cylinder. None of the calipers were leaking. I am switching the stock rubber lines over to DOT braided stainless lines. As far as adjusting my driving style, I have started braking earlier and less. But that just isn't quite as fun now is it? I liked catching people at the end of the straight and at turn 5 at SP. The unfortunate side effect is a very soft pedal at turn 10.
