This is frustrating. I was taking it reasonably easy on my brakes - although my instructor kept trying to get me to brake later - and my pedal started getting a bit softish about 20 minutes into a 1/2 hour session. I have the HP+ pads.
On one hand, most events I run just do 20 minute sessions, so I could probably get away with some good two-piece rotors and (hopefully) some cooling on the fronts. On the other hand, I'm trying to do one track day per month with this car, and I figure as I get my speeds up and start diving into the brakes harder, I'm going to hit the limits.
I caught a ride with an instructor, and he was just laying into the brakes on his M3. So nice to have boat anchors...
...but $4K+? Ouch. That kind of money, plus suspension, plus flywheel and clutch, plus a differential or differential cooler... I don't just have a spare $10K hanging around.
