Some issues from a 2-day HPDE...

i completely disagree. as a carbotech xp10 user for 4 or 5 years, i have never had to replace rotors due to wrappage or deposit. you need to bed the pads in properly by doing 120mph to zerp stop. you have to do it to a point that your brakes are completely faded and it smells like you have to call 911. you only have to do that once, the pads should be fine to use after. i assume you have the big brakes right? wtf are you using lubes, not needed

according to a former pro, you have to do that only once. if you dont do it properly, the pads will never be effective again

Hmm, so the pads only ever need to be bedded once? Even if I switch back and forth from them and street pads? I did bed them the first time I went out, just not this time.

I thought using the lube was necessary? I know others were doing this as well.

So what would cause my wheel to start shaking a bunch after it was acting fine for the first 7-8 sessions? They were still braking great, I was just getting a ton of shaking in the wheel which got me concerned.

Also what would make them get so much louder after a few days of use? I mean, braking was ridiculously loud, it sounded really hard like it was metal on metal.
