Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share some pictures showing how the new PFC compound pads and the lighter weight race rotors we're offering are doing. Anyone who has run their car on the track and looked at the brakes afterward can appreciate how well this combination did regarding wear.
We recently installed a full set of two piece 13" slotted rotors (heat treated) with Performance Friction 01 compound front and 97 compound rears on a '98 GTS. The owner of the car does Viper Days events frequently and was going down to Sebring to do two full track days. He was kind enough to drop his car back by the shop so we could see what the brake temperatures were and measure the pad wear. He was very happy with the stopping power and we were happy with the results.
Here are the results:
- Max front rotor temp = 925 F
- Max rear rotor temp = 850 F
- Front rotor wear = between .001" and .002" each
- Rear rotor wear = less than .001" each
- Front pad wear = .045" to .050" per pad
- Rear pad wear = .010" per pad
Rotors are still smooth with no grooves or cracks. Pads are not grooved and show no signs of overheating.
The calipers are stock and have Titanium pistons in them (front only). For additional cooling, the car has the Porsche ducts and front fascia air deflectors.
