Thought you guys might like to see this,I had another track day at Fontana I put my new warranted calipers to the test,im thinking fail by the pic's. I got my rotors to glow under intense hard braking

Tell them to upgrade you to the ZL1 brakes for free!

Glowing turbos are one thing... Glowing rotors are an entirely different story! Way to put them to work!

Corner speed where do I live?

gmorcos37 · 02-17-2014, 03:00 AM

That's awesome man, I've been wanting to go to Fontana (as I am only 15 min away) for a while now. Just scared about the wear and tear parts...how many track days + daily driving does it take before new pads, rotors, and tires are needed?

hcsi99 · 02-17-2014, 07:21 AM

So those are the new calipers?

1LeSS · 02-17-2014, 08:59 AM

Great job!!
The white crud on the calipers, is that brake fluid boiling out? or,,well, what is it?

Stock Boy · 02-17-2014, 09:23 AM

Ughh, I had that problem with fluid on the Brembos on my Evo. Is there a way to prevent that? Seems like it happens to a lot of people that track and use their brakes hard.

I just kept asking myself, "What the hell is that thing to the left in the photo?!"

Hey Lio,would love to put your upgraded brake system through the paces and see how they differ from mine.

Yes,that's the fluid pushing out,and it only happens under intense hard braking,but to me that's not ok.

It seems to be the case,i had someone say tighten the bleeder nut when they were hot. I tried this as soon as i got off track,but there were tight.
