Can't figure out my brake (non-)issue
OK, so my first track day went just fine with regards to brakes, I swapped out the stock pads for some StopTech street performance pads right before the event. So, brand new identical pads and this is how my wheels looked after the event:
Driver side Passenger side The car did not pull under braking and when I jacked it up both wheels spin freely. I would concur that the passenger side is dragging but, like I said, the wheel spins freely. What else should I be looking at? |

Not knowing much about this, could it just be the pads wearing, has it happened again since they were new. If so I have no idea. But if not it might just be them wearing in from being new.

10 threshold stops from 60 to 10 MPH with only a bit of braking in between and then drove around for 10 minutes with only gentle braking to let them cool down. |

More left turns than right could do this.
Modern ABS also have EBD which controls line pressure to each wheel separately. Your brake dust pattern might just be confirming the EBD function is engaged a lot on that particular track. Left front brake is not being applied as hard as the right front, on average. F1 cars aren't allowed to use EBD and lock up the less loaded tire accordingly. EBD gives street cars added safety by utilizing ABS selectively for each of the four wheels. |
