Also given that your car made it through the entire weekend no problem is a good thing...

In March I did a track even here on the West Coast and had to limp home after 1 1/2 track sessions since my car went into limp mode. Apparently it thought the brakes were overheating.

I'm running DS 2500 pads and RBF 600 fluid like you. No TI shims though. And even with the stock shims the pads clunk around a bit when I switch from reverse for forward and back.

The F30 plates are on order and I hope that will allow me to make it through a full track weekend.

Do you really think the TI shims do *anything*?
Feedback around the 'net seems to be very mixed trending towards snake oil, no?

Yes i believe everything as a package works well... It is a definite improvement over stock for sure.
Brake status will not affect your Limp home mode issues.. That was probably caused by oil temp issues... but that is a whole other story.

I doubt that the stock brake shims are on your pads if they clunk.. ( but i could be wrong, but they were a bear to get into the caliper with the stock plate and the oem plate so i think you would know ) Did you install them or did a shop ????

My car has made it thru 7 or 8 full day events and 2, two day events at approx 45 to 50 laps a day....I think the Ti plates help alot.. If anything they help with the vibration and sliding of aftermarket pads in our calipers.
