2019 GT base. 25 hours of track time, my pace at the local track is 1:50. Pace improved steadily from hour 0 (2:10). Every week I was getting a little bit faster and smoother.
Then I installed the Brembo 6 piston calipers in the front and put on Hawk DTC-70 in the front and DTC-60 in the back. I did no changes to the ABS and the master cylinder.
I was amazed at how well the car braked. Fantastic! Couldn't wait to test it out on track. My pace went to 1:58 (consistent). I was puzzled. Weather conditions were not different from when I was driving my 1:50 pace with the base brakes that I had to nurse to last a full session. I was expecting to be at least as fast with the Brembos.
I decided it must have been an off day.
I went again tonight. Same weather conditions. Same 1:58 pace.
I don't understand. I don't feel any different, yet I am much slower with significantly better and safer equipment.
Does anyone know what could be the cause?
