Please also note...brake disc thermal mass plays into longevity. That's why we have multiple kits to cater to differing needs. My hunch is that the Brembo disc weighs about 20-21 lbs. Our 299x32mm iron ring weighs 10.71 lbs., or roughly half. A far more apples-to-apples comparison would be the 325x32mm disc from our Endurance Kit, since the Brembo disc to which you are comparing is 326x30mm. Even if everything wasn't changed (pad, suspension, driving style), you can't realistically compare a disc to one that weighs half as much. If our disc lasts anywhere remotely as long as one with twice its mass, it is still a huge win for the lighter one!
