I learned the hard way that increased horsepower and a square setup with R-comp tires will destroy OEM sized rotors. I had hoped that fully floating PFC-V3 rotors would be up to the task with proper pads. I cracked a new set within 5 lapping days. Harold at HP Autosport helped with documentation, but PFC looked at the pictures and determined I had taken them beyond their designed operational temp. No warranty. FWIW, I swapped my OEM rotors back on for the final track day of the season and they held up better. I really don't want to deal with installing and maintaining brake ducts....but if it remains necessary, I will.

I considered the AP racing 372mm front setup with OEM rear, but my rear calipers are showing their age and I would prefer a set-up that comes balanced. Brembo 380mm front set won't clear my track wheels. Stoptech 380mm with ST60 6-pot calipers will. Stoptech it is.

As a show of good will (having just bought the PFC rotors this year) Harold gave me a great deal on a Stoptech Trophy Sport BBK, which I finally had a chance to install today.

During the bed-in procedure, it became abundantly clear that these stop the car very well. The second set of decelerations were very impressive with no fade even on rep #10. There is no doubt I could autocross with the street pads, something I could not do confidently with the OEM system using OEM pads or PFC Z-rated. I went for another drive this evening and can say enough about the pedal feel. I can't wait to head to the track with the "Club Race" pads.

Shout out to HP Autosport for awesome service!
