I had an interesting experience yesterday and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue.. I bought a "track day kit" from powerstop off of american muscle with rotors/pads, and on my 4th session of the day I experienced total rotor failure. This was my first track day on these rotors, I had them on the street for a little while until I realized how aggressive the pads actually were... Anyways, this happened going into turn 7 at sears point.. Had it happened going into 11 I would have surely wrecked my car, luckily I was able to just drive straight off the track.
Now I am pretty worried about running any sort of 1 piece rotor.. Any thoughts?? I am planning on adding some cooling or I think a 2 piece rotor will help a lot..
Looking at the pic, it is apparent that the rotor got really hot.. Need to remember that I had zero cool down though, I pulled straight off track from heavy braking and then the car sat there.. Previous sessions the rotors didn't look as abused.
