At 2 years per set of discs, I'd be super happy. I know a lot of race teams that go through 3 pairs of discs a weekend
Good to know. This is my first aftermarket BBK ownership experience on any car, and I'm getting more track time now more than ever before, so I appreciate all you guys sharing your perspectives.
That said, Mike, do you think a stock-powered BRZ on SX2s running DTC-60s with no aero would experience longer rotor and/or pad life with a good ducting system? I realize your previous answer was essentially, "it depends", but hopefully I have provided enough info to get a specific answer.
Oh, and my new roommate/buddy recently joined Rocky Mountain 86CUP and will be shopping for a BBK in the coming months. I expect you'll be hearing from him when the time is right.
