The master cylinder blew out, the pads were chunking, and the rotors were so glazed they looked purple... The FRS is the same way. I havent even had my FRS on a track and I have already roasted the stock brakes. The rotors are glazed as hell just from the downhill racing I do in my free time. Now my car wont stop when I need it to and if I was on a track I would have ZERO confidence in late braking into corners. Eventually I will buy new pads and rotors but my budget got ate up by the miata.. lol 
Anyways I do not mean to bash or anything. I just thought I would share my opinion on the subject since I am currently dealing with the aftermath of my own driving..  |
I don't disagree with you but typically aren't the pads/rotors that are for track use not the best for street use? I know some pads designed for the track require a high operating temperature that you're not going to reach on the street.
