Tires are getting stickier, so the current S2k drivers are giving the brakes more punishment.

Nothing's mechanically wrong with the brakes, but I do need to flush fluid every session if I want to maintain optimum brake feel (RBF600). I'm switching to a different fluid this year.

I just do time attack; no racing here. Stock brakes, oem-replacement rotors (centric and centric premium for the ones pictured above), and XP12 (pictured above). I'm currently using some prototype metallic pads that a manufacturer provided to me for testing; they're rated for 1100C (same as the XP12).

Autoclub Speedway (roval) is unusually hard on brakes, but I've broken rotors at almost every track I drive at; the only exceptions are WSIR and CVR, which have minimal braking. I'll be back at ACS in two weeks, which will be the ultimate test for the latest batch of prototypes I received.
