I got them before and they went away after some normal driving. Now I used Frozenrotors and they seem to be holding up much better and they are not much more then OEM blanks. There's also a 10% off code I found here. Those brakes are going to be loud, it's normal. I am getting the stillen front bumper and cooling ducts installed "soon". You can try RBF660 but be mindful it has a much higher tendency to suck up water from the air. Also you might want to get a basic brake fluid tester or just change the fluid prior to every event. Can't think of anything else you could try.
:/ I did upgrade the rotors, the fronts are the Z1 2 piece slotted rotors, they're holding much better than the rear slotted z1 performance rotors but still bunch of hot spots, and rebedding them on the highway helped a little bit but not too much.

Probably going to look at custom brake ducts or something for my bumper, thanks for the suggestions though

I have a friend who fabricated 3 inch ducts which apparently provided a lot more cooling (dropped the peak temp by 150F). The two piece rotor provides additional cooling.

Anyone have any experience with carbon ceramic rotors? I know they're expensive, but I'm not sure if that's a solution.
You also don't want to over cool as well as track pads do need some heat in them to work properly! You may need a more aggressive pad or a bbk as well as going to a 3" hose.
