What kind of tires are you on? (Make, model, and size) Are you running XP10 front/rear?
XP10 is great for intermediate level guys, but if you're quick, XP12 is the way to go (assuming you want to stick to Carbotech). If you're in a hurry, I believe we have it in stock.
It's very possible that they were bedding the 1st session; did the brakes improve later? ATE generally is not suited for quicker drivers. I'd recommend trying Motul RBF600. If that doesn't work, step up to Project Mu. If that doesn't work, then Torque RT700.
This isn't a FR-S/BRZ, but this picture is from the past weekend, with Project Mu 999, and Torque RT700. One of the rotors cracked during cooldown, but the brake fluid didn't get mushy, and the pads never faded.  |
I'm running the xp10 in the front and sad to say stock pads in the rear (yes I know dumb lol). I do consider myself to be quick on the track. Currently hold lap record at lime rock with my spec miata. I had the FRS clocked at 1:03.2 which I was very impressed with.
Going to order rear pads this week, do y recommend going with xp10 or xp8 for the rear. I just got the xp10 for the fronts so going to just burn them out and go with xp12s next time around. Only issue is the car is daily driven so I didn't want to go with such an aggressive pad.
As for brake fluid, I guess ate isn't cutting it for me. Going to switch over the motul this week. Running it at njmp next week which requires more use of brakes.
