Brakes performed fine in upto 100°F ambient temps for 20-25 min sessions. The tires and the driver were tired before the brakes  |
I hear ya, but if I had to do it over again (and even the OP on one of those threads and other folks I know that track the stock brakes agree), I'd put the stock brakes on the shelf, but on some AP's or Alcon's and save all the time, money, effort wasted on questionable cooling parts, and rebuilding stock calipers that are still going to discolor over time, essentially making them worthless if you sell the car.
