I'm rebuilding the brakes on my Carrera over the winter, in preparation for some track days next year. No upgrades other than Super Blue, just rebuilding the calipers, and replacing the rotors, master cylinder, hoses and Metal Master pads. The car is mainly street-driven, with very occasional track use.

There are some things I'm wondering about:

1. Any reason not to blow out the metal brake lines with brake cleaner and compressed air while everything's apart? Just to get everything clean.

2. Any reason to leave the backing plates on? I'm thinking about just removing them while it's easy to do. Seems like they'd run cooler, but might be more succeptable to water. I'll be installing the Ruf bumpers later and will probably add ducts with appropriate backing plates then.

3. Any reason not to pitch the brake pad sensors?

Thanks!
