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 |

I wish any rotor I had on any of my track cars lasted that long ha The Camaro ones are good for 10-15 days, BRZ AP ones I can't recall from my first set so I guess I'll find out again soon. The race car gets a couple days on a set in DEs, or about 10-14 hours of endurance usage. The ITR track car gets maybe 2 days out of a rotor. Given replacement cost I'd gladly swap the ITR rotors for the life of the essex BRZ ones if I could.

Oh as for @JRitt question.
I bought another set.. sooo.. that should answer it. I'll be moving them to the latest project instead of buying a 3rd though.. sorry

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.

Back in like 2005 we did a LOT of brake duct testing and developed a kit for GD chassis STI. Even had a pretty awesome carbon fiber version.
With a proper set up (ducting to the center of the rotor so cooler air gets pulled through the vanes) you'll increase the life of your rotors and pads. Blowing a small amount of air in the general direction of your brakes is no good. - Andrew |

Based on the peaks, you can reasonably extrapolate equilibrium temps. At 40 days per set of rotors, I'd actually bet ducts will hurt your rotor life; your DTC60 will get pushed out of their "happy temp zone" and increase rotor wear from the too-low temps. |

Rotor wear is not a concern. Cracking is. That is what determines the rotor lifespan for me. And based on initial testing, there is no less initial bite with our ducts.

Other feedback: I've moved onto a mk7.5 golf R. I see you have a radi-cal kit available for that platform, but I'd be interested in a kit like this Sprint Kit that doesn't cost a whopping $4600. |

I’ve had certain compound pads that have been very noisy on the Sprint kit but almost silent on the stock brakes. Other fixed caliper kits have extra hardware that seems to push the pads towards the center of the hub. Would those have any benefit to reducing noise if they could be added to the kit?

I've had my Sprint kit for as long as Pat, for what 5 years now? I honestly can't remember...
I don't track as often as he does, but with a balance of suspension, race tires and pads, Sprint track performance and longevity is fantasic, I don't need more brake than this performance-wise. I've noticed a slight taper with street pads from DD. Street and track pads squeal when hot. Only gripe I had initially was pad rattle and clunking. It doesn't affect performance, just annoying on the street. Years ago I fabbed a couple thin stainless clips for each caliper to quell the noise. One clips behind the pads to keep them lightly preloaded forward, and the other acts as a leaf spring under the retention bolt to keep the pads preloaded down. Now if I could only kill the squeal... |
