@xxaarraa Well, if it's not because you're 12 seconds off pace. Than those rotors must be effective! Sorry, hope I wasn't insulting.

RSXDC5 , thanks for the info on girodisc rotors! I was contemplating switching to OEM rotors for the next set, but now I think I will stick with girodisc! |

TT2 record is still 2:02s and that's where the F80 (3600 lbs, max of 467 hp) fits: https://form.jotform.com/drivenasa/s...ification-form I think your E46 (3200 lbs) fits in TT3 and par for that class is 2:04s... Last edited by USSEnterprise; 02-09-2021 at 06:30 AM.. |

Btw, I wasn't IN ANY WAY trying to criticize your driving ability or say you're not driving hard enough. I don't make dick comments like that... I just struggled really badly with brake heat on my M4CS and I'm not a pro driver by any means. There's fast people on here who didn't have the problems I did and fast people who did. I was just more shocked that your front calipers didn't even register a temperature considering how bad the air flow is. It may not be zero but it's damn close. Next time you're on track walk around and look at the brakes/air ducts/cooling some other sports cars of equal or less cost have. I think you're in a better position than I was with my original blue 4-piston calipers but it's a big time weak point on an incredible platform. The entire front end of the car is just a wall of radiators/coolers. Even custom ducting is a pain in the ass. |

Related to brake caliper temps question: has anyone here used these temp-monitoring stickers, available on Amazon? 25 bucks for 16 one-time-use stickers (eight track sessions)
I figure it will only take a couple one-use applications to see if my caliper temps are outrageous or not, and then a couple more after taking ameliorative actions... then I can share the rest with friends or use them on my next track car: https://www.amazon.com/Motorsport-Ca.../dp/B07D7H1M67

I use them on from and rear. Initially I struggled with results as notices the first 2-3 blocks turned black them skipped the middle ones and last block turned black. I them realized the installation could the issue as put them initially on front face of the caliper. I decided to install them around the piston area. Unfortunately got the same results. With stock calipers my calipers front and rear DSC off are running around 380F what is above my expectation.
Would like to try AP stickers. |

So i tried out the amazon temp stickers today. Only remembered to do it the last session of the day. Seemed to work fine. Front hit 360 and the rear hit 370.

I used them also. My issue was that the initial boxes turned black but them skipped the middle one and black the last box. Temperatures are similar very hot ... high pad wear

Also, with the rears running a little hotter than the front, are you using MDM or DSC? |

Maybe the stickers have a +/-5 variance or something?

Take the shields off, it definitely helps with cooling. If your worried about the ball joints wrap them with a heat wrap, that's what i did and i haven't had any issues.

Lower ambient temps helps to a degree but the problem with our brakes are that they do a poor job of dissipating heat, the faster you go the more you'll realize this. Removing the heat shields, adding brake ducts and titanium shims help but on faster tracks like the glen i still burn through a set of brake pads a day. I just picked up some girodisc rotors which should help, i think for the stock calipers that's best setup you can do |
