Hi i drive my s2000 often at the track and i have this brake overheating issue.

Here are the mods for the car

4.44 final gear

intake , header ,test pipe , exhaust.

KW v3

255/40/17 square set up with 17x9 45 rpf1

Bros ms gt wing

mods are not so crazy it's almost close to stock except the few bolt ons.

i have tried so many brake pads and rotor combo and all failed.

Didn't last for more than a 5-6 hot laps and overheat.(pads)

HP+, dtc 70, carbotech xp12 , bros ms race pads and rotors , DBA rotors ,stoptech rotors, brembo rotors oem rotors.

all the rotors seems like it over heats crazy and i see the pads easily overheat after full 5 hot lap.

i have 3" brake duct as well and it helped little but not much.

is this the max potential for the stock calipers and rotor size?

i have cracked almost 6 pairs of rotors last year and more than 6 pairs of pads.(cooked)..and now i am thinking of buying spoon caliper or stoptech 328mm bbk

Can anyone help me solution for the brake set up?

spoon caliper vs stoptech which would be cost effective + performance effective

i have 5 more pads and rotors set for the stock size so would it be better to go with spoon since they can fit the stock size ?

or forget about all stock sizing overheating and go with stoptech bbk? what kind of pads choice do i have with stoptech bbk ? other than 309 from stoptech ? 328mm bbk is 309 pads are the best pads i can use?

my goal is to shave 1-2 more sec with bbk upgrade @ cayuga track @ ontario canada which would be more effective?

please help !

Thanks

Have you ever serviced your calipers?

iLuveketchup

Which brake fluid are you using?

sibelian

i service my caliper everytime i come back from the track or before track....

i'm using str 600 fluid

sibelian

i do brake service 110% everytime for the track day..

andrewhake

You do a full caliper rebuild for every track day? I think that is what was meant by servicing your calipers.

sibelian

oh servicing the caliper, you mean rebuilding the oe caliper?

i have done last year winter time so it was fresh before the track season. however now all the seals are because of heating

Do you do any cool down laps after your session?
This is what kills most brakes.

sibelian

yes. one full cool down lap..

When the car is jacked up do the wheels spin somewhat freely?
