As others have said, I ran EBC yellows on my first track day and they got soft on me after as couple laps. Elmo and I have been running WinMax W5's and they've been pretty solid. Being a Japanese pad, the initial bite isn't too aggressive, but maintains it's clamping force under abuse. I haven't experienced ice mode using them on 200TW tires. I also agree that Z1's mfront rotors may have trimmed too much weight off and reaches higher peak temps than other two piece rotors. That could be the primary source of the cracking. I opted to purchase the DBA two piece and hope to try them soon. If track days can stop being canceled...
