Sorry, posted this already in suspension, wheels, brakes and no one cared to reply...

Just went up to VIR (only 40 miles away now!!!!) Monday and Tuesday. Running stock brakes with drilled rears and slotted fronts and HP+ pads. We only ran on the south course, but I was up close to 140 by the brake zone... BAD brake fade lap after lap to where I could only get to 130 before having to back off and brake, UP HILL to where I can make the turn. After my last session I found 3 large cracks in the left rear rotor. So I think it's about time to upgrade. (yeah I bled the brakes and pads were new and bedded properly)

I've looked at the Racing Brake thread, seen an SCCA track car with Stop Techs and read a little about Rotora's. What is the best performance, cheapest for 4 track events a year, and will fit under 18" (probably all of them). Thanks!

PS- I'm sure the rotational inertia of the 18" is killing my stock setup, but oh well, I'm keeping them.

 

crickets...

 

I've got Goodfella's old setup on my car now, which he's tracked before. It's a stock size setup, but running EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads. You might want to try those pads before you fork out 4 digits for a big brake kit.

He said that at the track he never got brake fade. The Yellow Stuff pads are (according to EBC) race compound brake that are streetable and you don't have to heat up.
