What is the best way to reduce brake drag? Running stock metric calipers and dot 3 fluid. Thanks

I think most dont maintain there brake system correctly. Obviously good master cylinders are a must, most dont do anything with them as long as they still work and dont leak. They arent that expensive, if you dont want to rebuild them in the off season, just replace them and sell the old ones on Ebay fo 1/2 price. Brake fluid is a big deal with me, I use Wilwood EXP Super Hi temp fluid. If you glow the rotors you are cooking the fluid in your calipers. The brake system isnt a circulatory system so it just sits in the caliper and cooks because its the closest to the red hot rotor. Doing a quick brake bleed to flush the calipers after every weekend is a good practice to get into. Just a couple thoughts.

even when you don't glow your rotors your fluid gets hot and will have floaties when you bleed it into a bottle. I bleed my brakes every week.
