Before ducts



After



With Z1 vented two piece rotors my brakes are bulletproof at the track. Make sure to bleed on some RBF 600 or similar high temp brake fluid to avoid boiling the brakes (and then crashing)

I've run many pads and for a weekend warrior like the hawk plus pads although they are pretty dusty.

Consider swapping pads to OEM when not tracking just to keep the dust and noise down. (Also track pads are hard on your rotors when they are not heated up (like on DD)



Swapping brakes is easy, just pull the pins back off the pistons by pressing them back into the caliper and drop in the new pad. It takes about 5 minutes (tops) per wheel.

2 piece vented rotors also go on very easily

Rusty and Hotrodz like this.
