WTF is wrong with my brakes?

JARblue

I would try fresh fluid first since that's the easiest possible solution and good practice anyway (Motul fluid is not expensive).

But I'm inclined to believe that the Z1 2pc rotors are at least a factor of overheating if not the direct culprit. The lightweight Z1 rotors have much less mass, which means they cannot absorb as much heat. During repeated high performance operation they simply cannot dissipate the heat fast enough.

Seems like the cryo treated blank rotors are one of the better budget options out there. Although I'm very tempted to pick up one of DarkJak's brake setups - the price is right.
