What pads were those?
and is the boot around the piston ok from the heat?
Those are goodridge SS lines... very good!
Pads were OEM.. they lasted 300km of track action
boots from both pistons melted and cracked, the piston that came attached to the pad needs to be replaced and will be replaced tomorrow (no need to replace calipers!).
I heard the warnings and saw the low fluid level warning light... but I was there with a mission! I knew I was gonna cook them..
Here's a quote of my post in another forum:
3 - Story: Brand new OEM pads were installed on the day before the trackday.. remember in Estoril we have high temperatures almost all year.
After 1H30 of track action I started hearing the warnings on the pads... I continued even knowing I would cause severe damage to the front brakes. I had an objective (my personal stuff) on this track day and I achieved it, unfortunately at the cost of cooking the brakes but I knew the risks I was taking.
4 - Just bought new OEM discs, DS2500 pads, new seals for both calipers and a new piston for the left caliper.
Everything will be nicely instaled (I HOPE!) tomorrow by me. I let you know the results.
BTW here's some more pictures.. not of the brakes this time!
And here's the guy responsible for me cooking the brakes... I almost had him!
ops: Stock ITR vs Heavy modded EG9!
