side note: looks like you're in the bay area, hope to see you around the tracks here! I rarely ever see Zs and Gs at track days
Great to hear that winmax pads are good. I'll definitely look into them more.

Sounds like I might just make the jump and go straight for the xp12/10 combo or the winmax equivalent if you're also experiencing some brake fade (considering my car is ~300lbs heavier).

While my stock calipers were on, I had XP10s in front and they were smearing on my rotor towards the end of the session at t-hill west, but i also had tiny 12" rotors prior to the akebonos.

You're right, there aren't very many of us out in the norcal tracks!
I'll definitely come say hi if I run into you...or will you be at the svzg summit run?
