Suspension issues - Need help with a diagnosis
#32
I thought i was being respectful. So what do you prefer then?
Edit. PS..forgot to answer your question sorry. Like yourself I always ran stock. Didn't find the problem plus I was not that convinced the pagids were doing anything better other than making a lot of squealing noises. Also always nice to be able to drive home in a car not making horrible squealing noises that drew attention to the car as having something worn out in the brakes iykwim? Gotta say I am intrigued at how you got so much life out of your discs and then there is that stock clutch with a tune that was still perfect when you sold it 80K miles later. Extraordinary! Not having any slippage with street use is unusual enough in itself least of all running under sustained power conditions during track use. So surely you can understand my logical questioning you on that.

The stock rotors are so cheap and a consumable, I'd just change them as required,mail though the 2 piece is a good idea. I went through at least 3-4 sets on my old car, not a big deal at all.

I had 7 plus years on my stock 996 rotors, tons of track days , the key is frequent pad and fluid changes. I'm still on my factory rotors on my 997 tt, same thing frequent pad changes and fluid. Of course having a full shop here in Texas helps lol
