Hi Folks - just wondering if anyone has incorporated more active rear braking cooling on GTs and whether that is needed. 2020 stock PP1, A10.
I took out my OEM rear pads after ~5 good sessions. Pretty even wear down almost to the backing plates. Granted it just OEM, so can't expect much but still surprised. Never seen rear pads go that quickly. Front OEM pads worn down as well with an incredible amount of taper (LE to TE of the pad, ~0.300+ of taper). Never seen front pads look like that. I'm thinking maybe the stability control was coming on in the rear and just cooked the fronts. Thoughts? Ran in the "sport" mode (only have 3 modes, ON, Sport, OFF). Will certainly be stepping up to track pads for the next event. Just figured I would try stock. Got the answer I expected.
Would appreciate some thoughts on cooling the rear brakes. Will look to modify or remove the splash plates on the rear and replace the front splash plates with the -H "shorty" design. But just wondering if you experience track guys have found the need and benefit of more active rear brake cooling and if so, what seems to work. Thanks.
