Laguna Seca Track Day Brake Issue

something doesn't sound right about brake bias. seems like rear is grabbing way too hard for OEM 370Z. I hardly wear out the rear pads with Carbotech XP10/8 front/rear combo.

something doesn't sound right about brake bias. seems like rear is grabbing way too hard for OEM 370Z. I hardly wear out the rear pads with Carbotech XP10/8 front/rear combo. I have no idea about red stuff but I doubt that pads caused the rear to wear fast.

someone needs to chime on this.



edit: steering wheel shaking is probably warped rotors, but sometimes uneven pad material transfer onto the rotors could cause vibration. it happens when you don't bed in the pads properly for carbotechs, it's hard to detect. usually steering wheel vibratio is for the front rotors most commonly. on your next run at the track, you might not notice any vibration if it was the pad issue.
TechnicZ and carlitos_370z like this.
