You need brake cooling...via air flow, NOT splashing cold water...

Get yourself an infrared temp gun and log the rotor temps before and after the brake cooling ducts, you should see a difference.

Rotor is not your problem (unless they are cracking or warping).

EBC yellow shouldn't be a that big of a problem...it's certainly not a full track pad, but they should do the job if you know how to manage it. I imagine you were going balls-to-the-wall Max Verstappen qualifying lap type of driving. Rusty had tracked with them and didn't have any issue.

I think it'll be a great benefit for you to develop more feel and mechanical sympathy for your car.

For context: car in question has TP + Exhaust + tuned. Manual, 3.9 FD and 265/285 tire combo. KW V3 and SPL arms. EBC yellow and SS line. etc...
