Did a track day on Monday in 95 degree weather - 130mph straightaway hard on the brakes for 6 20 min sessions, never had any fade. I'm running carbotech xp10/8 pads, stilen brake ducting, have the titanium backing plates, stainless lines and motul rbf 600 fluid. Finally think I have the brake setup down right, if that helps at all.

I keep getting brake shudder while on track...any others with this issue?
Setup: 2014 Sport, XP10/8, Blank Rotors, RBF600, Steel Brake lines, on RE-11 Tires. I tend to be hard on the brakes and have been coached to not brake as late and aggressive. Front rotors replaced 3 times in an effort to correct the issue; stock rear rotors still. It has been suggested to me to try different pad company. Thoughts, suggestions, comments? |

I went back to using a fast road pad front and rear (Project Mu HC+ or Ferodo DS2500) all the time and the problem went way. Byproduct is lots of dust though What pads are in the car for Daily usage ?? I suspect the shudder is coming from the interaction between DD pads and XP10/8 combo on track and maybe it might work if you use a Carbotech DD pad if there is such a thing (I'm in Australia and not familiar with that brand of pad material) |

Yes, I am using the Carbotech DD pad (1520)...where the compounds are compatible as per carbotech. I am sticking with pure Carbotech and switching between the 1520 and XP10...and still experiencing the issue. I just wonder if the excessive heat is still causing the problem. I am considering switching Pad companies all together...but Carbotech seems to be very popular here with the 370z community.

I would check your braking habits. Do you cause pad deposit's by your driving style? Our cars brakes are pretty good about not warping rotors unless you have some bad habits.
|
Braking habits may be it...but not sure I would know if my habits are the cause. While on track I do brake late and very hard...at times of hitting ABS with RE-11 tires.

If your brakes are hot and you're parking it; you need to make sure to rotate the wheels occasionally to prevent rotor warping too.
