the common denominator seems to be the Redstuff pads.
Just use pads suitable for the track - problem solved.

The "Yellow Stuff" pads should be better. Rotors and pads are consumables, so you will be on to a new set in no time.

Also think about your braking technique, most are on the brakes for far too long. Make it short sweet, build pressure fast then get off the brakes.

:dance: And yes, it was the pads!
The Redstuff pads were causing me grief! The Yellowstuff pads have saved the day!
Just back from 2 hot track days, and I really got into the brakes. Smooth as silk!
One happy camper. For all those naysayers: yes, it can be the pads!
