Oh yes. Hearing the disk "clunk" as it breaks loose is quite satisfying, actually . But without this... good luck.

@Fish Eagle, how the hell do you get so much life out of your PB rotors, considering that you have power upgrades and semislicks? Do you do cooldown laps during your sessions or just cane it all the way?

I got some feedback from PB today, and it seems that I managed to exceed the max temps of the pads... over 630 degrees celcius according to the temperature paint... The disks are fine but also can't take these temps for too long apparently, they went over their MOT. Their feedback is that even if I upgrade the pads to survive the temps I am putting out, it will cause damage to the disks in the long run and probably lead to cracking. I'm not sure how I'm getting these kinds of temps . Is Zwartkops hard on brakes?

I have 2 options: adjust my expectations and driving style, or adjust my budget
