Previous to the track day, I made sure that I bedded in the pads to the new rotors properly.

I already have the larger brake cooling ducts (not the enormous GT3 ducts, but the larger than stock ones).

What do you all think I should try? EBC Yellows? A different, higher quality and thus more expensive set of front rotors?
Same boat: Reds on Meyles. Sudder when hot, no shudder when cool. Meyles look almost new!
I've opted for New Zimmermanns on the front. Going to season them this week with my reds and probably track them next week with the reds. I haven't received my yellows yet and I don't think I'll have time to bed them for this event.
