arawski Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hey everyone, this year for me has been a learning year. There is a lot about the Z that ive learned from driving it. One of the things is these cars are brutal on brakes. Now i do have the brake cooling kit installed and i have not yet gotten brembos. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to lighten up the wear on the the pads? (besides not using them ) I feel that a weight reduction would totally solve the problem with consumables but thats just me! Let me know what you think!

laze1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 at least 3-4 race weekends for the fronts and still have a little pad left for a margin for error , 6+ weekends for the rear using Brembos...at a track like Road Atlanta, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmettogasman Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hey laze, how's the rotor wear with the carbotechs? I'm using centrics with hawks (switching to pfc?) and changing my front rotors every 3-4 weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 very "rotor friendly" Seriously I run Centric Premium Blank Rotors...and can run a long time...maybe 6 months or more...and that equals 5-6 race weekends. And the Carbotechs don't eat up wheels and paint. I am not a hard braker...I am more smooth/squeeze/momentium guy. So my results my not compare to a hot-shiate young Bull who hammers the brakes. Also, 4 of the 6 races are at Road Atlanta which in not hard on brakes. I love the RP2 pads are great...last forever...easy bite/release...easy on ABS...
