I'm sure stock pads and tires are good enough for some people too. That doesn't make it ridiculous to use a race pads and r-compounds does it?
How does comparing rated temperatures not mean much when we're specifically talking about boiling points of fluids? After multiple cycles of heat transfer between the rotors, pads, calipers and fluids, your brake fluid temps are bound to start converging just below your rotor temps.

What I meant was that we dont necessarily know the actual temperature of the fluid in the caliper itself. Again I don't wanna argue since I'm not an expert in the topic; I can only speak from my hands on experience at multiple tracks around the Midwest. Just wondering what failure mode did you experience to make you think the OE fluid was NG?
OP I recommend running with NASA, PCA, BMWCCA, or the more exclusive groups like ChinTrackDays or 1010ths.
