And yes, OEM brake pads are always insufficient.

I've posted thousands of times, that with even the most basic instruction, you will not have enough brake pad, Performance Package Brembos or not.

Street pads belong on the street. Track pads belong on the track.

PM me and lets get you a proper set of brake pads.
Will do!

I'm amazed that thing slows down at all at this point. Good to know though. I'll remove my caps next month.
Performance package brakes aren’t full on track brakes, but they are pretty damn sweet. 6 track days, 7800 miles, and pads still have >50% material remaining. Same goes for the Michelin Primacy HPs, lol.

The front wheels were too hot to touch. I came to the same conclusion: The plastic get so hot that the tabs gets soft.
