Really bad brake shaking.
Hello all,
My last 2 track days I’ve been getting some serious vibration from the brake pedal once the brakes get hot. The shaking only seems to be coming from the front. I have DTC-30, centric rotors, and dot 4 fluid. After my first day of shaking I replaced all 4 rotors and swapped fluid afterwards but the shaking is still there starting on like the 3rd lap. The first 2 laps I can slam on the brakes and it’s super smooth coming to a stop. Does anyone know what this could be? TIA Steve |

Take the first set of rotors and see if they are still true.

Really bad brake shaking.
Can you post of pic of your rotors? My car would do this with XP10's. It would develop so much pad deposit it would shudder hard under braking.
Here is what mine looked like.

I’m thinking my pads are worn in the same manner my old rotors were, and I just need to go crazy on a future brake bedding session? I’ve done one minor bedding session, but haven’t gone any harder than that as I don’t want to catch California on fire with sparks/lack of rain. |

Looks like the pad smeared on the rotor. Rebedding them should make it go away, always worked for me. You may need to add ducting in the future or go to a more robust pad.

I have Rooducts brake ducts which are similar to the GT3 ducts, but do you think something like the Verus ducts would be worth going to before upgrading to a bbk? |

I am not familiar with Hawk pads, if the 30 is a mild pad that is probably mostly the problem. Most street/track hybrid pads just don't hold up once you get faster on a good tire. I am not super familiar with the effects of different brake ducts since I have never run them, I went BBK pretty early in on my tracking adventure.

Pretty sure you're braking so hard that you're stopping the earth's rotation, hence the strange feeling. All is well, just maybe lighten up on the pedal a smidgen.

Get 2 sets of pads. 1 for street and 1 for track. Talk to Mike at CSG. If you can get 2 sets of rotors as well as blanks are cheap and just swap before track days. It's a pita but might save you from going to a bbk
