Ok, I finally found a pad that works great. Hawk DTC60s. Yea, they dust but they don't squeal, stop good enough when not warmed up and no fading at all at the track.
So here is my problem. I am going through 2 piece RB rotors like crazy. When I came into the pits yesterday (after a cool down lap) the front temps were 480F. Rear running 300F. I am running 2" air ducting F & R. My rotors aren't cracking, but there are spider stress cracks everywhere and getting bigger and bigger. So I pulled the rotors - better safe than sorry. And how much spider cracking is too much? You can't feel them yet, but there are alot and a quite a few that are 1/2" or so. None towards the edges yet - all in the middle.
So I have little or no fade - happy there, but I have to get these temps down or my rotor budget is going to cost a fortune.
I want to keep my 16 OEMs for the street so the only BBK that will fit is the Dali 4 pot Alum. But it uses the same size 298mm rotor as the RB that I am running now. The 324mm RB rotor or other BBKs won't fit unless I go to 17s.
So I am assuming going to the Dali 4 pot and using the same rotor isn't going to help bring down temps. I am also wondering how much of an improvement I would see? Fade isn't much of an issue as I brake hard and short on the track and they seem to be holding up now with the new Hawk DTC60s.
Anyone tracking with the Dali 4 pots? Need new rotor rings ($400) so in essence it really only cost me $1k more to get the Dali 4 pot kit which comes with new 2 piece RBs.
