If you are experiencing fade with the RS29, I am not sure if the PFC08 will fair any better? Are you ducting any air to your front brakes? Perhaps upgrade to a two-piece floating rotor with better vane design?

Noob question.
Drove on track with the OEM pads. After the event driving on the street, the steering and brakes shake when braking around 40 mph so obviously something is not right on the rotors and pads. Are there residuals left on the rotors from these OEM pads that I am supposed to clean them out with a few heavy braking on the streets or just driving normally for few weeks and the residuals would be gone? I do not believe the rotors could be wrapped so quickly. Considering RS29 with the next outing. |

You can either remove the rotors and have the machined(just a few thousands will usually do it) or a cold track pad(depending on the compound) may be abrasive enough to clean the surface . Did you do a cool down lap? |

I always do a cool down lap end of each session plus few minutes of poddock driving without touching the brakes. Would the RS29 be able to "smooth" these out with some cold driving? |

I do see some deposits on your rotors. It's definitely from overheating or the OEM pads. Unfortunately a cool down lap or even two would help with the deposits. RS29 will have much higher maximum operating temperatures and pad deposit will be unlikely. In addition, when the pads are cold, they are slightly more abrasive to help clean the rotor up on your return trip from the track and ready for OEM pads reinstallation.

Very likely. While I haven't tried to clean up a rotor with the RS29, in my experience the RS29 does a nice job cleaning up deposits on the way home from the track and I suspect it would do so here too.

Yes, track pads tend to be more abrasive when cold and the RS29 is no exception. A few applications of the brakes when cold should remove most deposits.

I had several track days in 2016 and was just told during my last servicing that my brakes are warped. I had awful shake after my track days, which subsided somewhat. But the shake or pulsating feeling, particularly when coming to a stop, has never gone away. My initial thought was pad deposits and it certainly is a contributing factor. Just make sure you do not exceed thermal limits. I am yet to test new pads but will for this year. |

Your rotors are very unlikely warped. Rotors as sturdy as the ones found on the F8X just don't warped that easily. You most probably only have uneven pad deposit on your rotors, despite what your BMW service guy is telling you. Most BMW service personnel are clueless regarding pad deposit and uneven pad deposits present the exact same diagnostic symptoms as warped rotors. I am in very good terms with my service manager at my dealer, and he had never heard about uneven pad deposit until I told him about it. A few weeks of regular street driving will eventually wear off the uneven deposit. This can be accelerated by using a more abrasive track pad on the street. Don't just take our word for it, read this excellent article by Stoptech: http://www.stoptech.com/technical-su...nd-other-myths

With the RS29 installed, should I just drive it slowly and let the abrasive pads to clean up the deposits from my oem pads then do the bed-in or do I just go to do the bed-in for the RS29 right away? Not sure if it matters though. |

My situation with OEM pads was similar to yours and the Pagid's helped clean the rotors. I did not bed them but did drive for 300 miles to a track event which seemed to improve the situation. Bedding happened during my first session and pedal feel improved as the day progressed. I'm back to OEM pads now and happy with the outcome. It's probably not quite as smooth as day one but acceptable.

I think I read CanAutM3 daily his set of RS29.
Who else daily their RS29 or am I crazy? How's the life of the rotors thus far for those who daily their RS29? |

As for rotor wear, I end-up having to replace the rotors because of excessive cracks before they get too thin. So it is not really an issue.

Heat stress from extensive track use. Perfectly normal

When I have a crack that interconnects two cross drill holes or one that extend to the outer edge of the rotor, it is the signal to replace.

Ummm you can daily your RS29s if you don't mind sounding like a school bus when you drive around. You can put all the anti-squeal paste you want it won't matter. I can't wait to take my RS29s off after track days.
