Maybe it is the fault of the Pilot Super Sports.

Bud.. you drive too hard...



Thinking about wax my Z one more time tonight....

Au contraire, mon ami. Not hard enough is what I am thinking.

I warped with the stock set up at the track. Replaced the pads and resurfaced. Warped them again at the track, replaced the brake fluid installed ducting and resufaced again and still I came back from the track with less warped but warped rotors.

With new stock rotors I have barely used them since yesterday but the are not warped. I just passed 13,000 miles this week.

I also have about one month of front tires left, which all four were replaced at 7250 miles.

I sure feel like I could drive harder but all those cop cars say I am wrong.
