Do you guys have any input on this?
http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c ... ty-84-87-rear-rotors.html Posting over there was probably a waste of time. Maybe they know which wax I should buy. |

Have you looked into Wilwood? I don't track my car so I'm just guessing. Just another idea.

cryo does help, but against racing grade pads, all rotors are dead meat.
Powerslot is good, StopTech is good, too. |

I get that, but what stock? Autozone stock? GM dealership stock? I'm not upgrading.
Cryo is better for wear, but they say too much heat negates it. I don't know if my rear has too much heat or not. The pads I use are rated up to 1000F and I'm not sure if I've faded them. I guess I'll try the EBC. And maybe pick up some brake temp paint. I can't afford the aftermarket Wilwood kit, and it seems unnecessary. Their front rotors have been great though. I even ran them against the backing plates for a lap, and am still using them. Still not a peep over there. Musta went over their collective heads? I thought metallurgy was a sexual act. |

What I use: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=TEMPPAINT You also cam get a rough idea of where your bias is by "bench testing" the brakes. We do this on the racecars with dual m/c setups before every event. Takes 3 people or a spreader bar to push on the brake pedal. With the car on stands, slowly increase the brake pedal pressure until the front wheels just stop turning (turn the wheels by pulling down from the 3 o'clock position in the direction they turn when going forward). When the fronts just barely lock up, check the rears, they should turn but it should take a lot of effort. This will give you an idea on what the bias spring is doing. It's also a good way to check left to right for equal brake pressure. |
