I agree. When I first purchased a set I figured it was probably a scam, but it really seems to improve the life.

The frozen rotors last significantly longer than none frozen on my car.

on my GT1 racecar I get a whole season (8 race weekends on one set of rotors).

2 sets of front pads, 1 set of rear pads for the whole season.

When I rane a 944 Turbo S E-stock car - between SCCA, NASA, and PCA ran 14 race weekends in one season -

For the season:
1 set of front rotors, no rear rotors.
3 sets of brake pads...

I try to use the brakes as little as possible, LOL - still too much I think...

Funny - on my GTP car i ran 2 years on the same set of endurance brake pads...

My 1985.5 944 "I" car had 87,000 miles on the stock rotors when it became a track car. 42 DE days, 18 club races later I changed the front rotors.

Doing 9 club races plus a couple of DEs a year I would change the front pads once a year and the rears every 2 1/2 years.

When you don't have much hp you don't spend a lot of time on the brakes.

I only got 7 track days (mixed with regular driving). Had to change rotors and pads. I have GT2 brakes so that's a pricey issue.

Problem is I have a Turbo (not a GT2) so I am hauling down a lot of weight at a lot of speed. I also try to take as much advantage of track days so I am pretty much on the track as much as possible. I do Chin Motorsport events and they have lots of track time.

I just put a new set on and after two days at Sebring they are already cracking

I don't know the exact answer to the question, but I know I get a lot more out of my rotors since the list tuned me up on my braking...

Funny, the more experience I get, the longer brakes and tires last.

I always told the guys wanting the big reds that it only slowed them down, to me its counter productive to wanting to go fast.

I usualy get about15 to 20 track days out of the oem flat(no driling/slots) rotors
Hawk Blues, run at tremblant

RSRRacer

3 to 4 days on front rotors and twice that on rears. Change pads with rotors.

How in the hell do you guys run the rotors for that long?

Larry Herman

Don't feel bad Chris. I would only get 5 events out of the rotors on my GT3.


Ahh, never mind. I thought you meant 3-4 events, not days. What pads do you run? I ran RS-19s

jrgordonsenior

Chris are you on the original rotors or did you update to the 350's?....

LiveNupe

Are the factory 993 rotors drilled??

LiveNupe

Aw com-on. Where's your sense of adventure?? They're only reporting a 70% chance of rain.,

See you Saturday!

Jay Gratton

+1! When you drive 914's you can afford to touch the brakes if you don't want to get crushed.

HERE's one place.

RSRRacer

I run (ran, car is sold) the old style small calipers and run Pagid RS29 (enduro) front and Pagid black rear.

TheOtherEric

Yes they are. I also run Big Reds, which probably helps life somewhat (but not too much).

I sure hope you're joking because that would be the most bizarre thing I've read this month.
