So I went driving today with the Piston Head crowd and i found the brakes over heated and just stopped working!

I have decent pads but standard pads, but not sure how I can sort this out.

Thinking change the brake fluid.

Any other ideas?

Also what tyre pressure should we be running?

As I have found that I have wear on the outside edge.

I have had the camber pulled in, but oddly when I went driving I found that I washing out on bends,

One of the guys said that the tyre pressure could be set to low.

What pressure should I be running on my car?

Might help if you tell us a bit more first:

What car?
Age/Model?
What size wheels/tyres?
What is the camber set to?
Any suspension mods?

I have a 2005 wrx wagon SL with prodrive pack.

I have set the front to 32psi as stated in the hand book, but this seems to low. Thinking may up it to 38psi as I seem to be wearing/scrubbing the outside of the tyre even when my camber is set negative.
