Ugg, the cold is here. I am not enjoying it. I would rather have 90 degree weather.

Went to the Red Bull ring circuit today!....and also had a weird situation.

So, as I said in my car thread...I bought a new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. I did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.

So today I went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, I'll change the brake fluid... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90km/h cruise to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then when I checked the paint markings on the rotors, they all changed colors, indicating that the rotors exceeded 630°C.

And that was just after one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but now when I was going home on the highway, I feel a slight judder around 120km/h, and when I brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.

Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint? Or is it possible it's just brake pad deposit?

Thanks for your answers.

It sure sounds like it. I would suggest investing in some AP Racing brakes and calling it a day. They work very well.

But really, are rotors that fragile? I mean, I didn't spray them with water after that :|

Would it make sense to put them on a lathe and try to get them straight?
