So after ten 20-minute sessions on the Main Circuit at Summit Point, WV, my brakes were pulsing pretty badly. I know they had been toasted a bit.
The ones on the right were a little worse than the left. This makes sense when you figure the torque vectoring function is going to clamp the inside wheel on acceleration. (Summit Point Main goes clockwise)
I just received 2 rotors from Amazon Amazon.com: Motorcraft BRRF206 Brake Rotor Assembly: Automotive
and a set of brake pads Amazon.com: Motorcraft BRF1442 Brake Lining Kit: Automotive
And they were the real FOMOCO deal, arriving in 2 days.
Here are a few pics of the old ones... they had some crazing on the surface of the rotors, and the pads were pretty much gone. I'm glad I changed them before this week's autocross.
I am disappointed in the lifespan, though. Yeah, I drove the living s out of them. But I did my best to let them cool down while moving, and the rotors warped anyway. Does anyone think these can be turned/saved for spares?
The bottom line is, I can't wait until Hawk or some other vendor starts making pads for the FiST. Something less likely to become so roasty. <-- that's a technical term.
