Be honest.
Burnouts not intentionally
Drifting here and there but never for long periods of time. Im talked about drifting turns on reg roads
No track days
Ive spun out once, in a parking lot. 2 donuts but didnt hit anything




[QUOTE=Suberman;1361297]I call BS. I've never seen stress fractures in iron discs unless they are cheapo drilled units.

Your tire guy is probably not a brake guy and mistook pad lining deposit lines for cracks. I've seen those.

Also all street brakes (and racing brakes for that matter) are front biased because of weight transfer effects. Front brakes do up to 80% of all braking.

The rear brakes on our BRZ are only 4 mm smaller in diameter and vented just like the fronts. They are 6 mm thinner so that they will heat up at relatively the same rate as the fronts.[/QUOTE

I knew that the brakes are biased. Like you said this is because of the weight transfer as well as the heavier front end due to motor weight

If I get a chance im going to pull my wheel off tomorrow and take a look. Ill keep everyone posted and thanks for the feedback. I really dont like the nervous feeling I have driving the car now.
