Message :rotor replacement ease and pad options.
:AP would be better suited towards drag racing.
:Search on here and ask around for info regarding Alcon, AP, Brembo, & StopTech. I recently went through this, and the buck stopped at StopTech for track purposes.
:J compounds are not even the most aggressive pads out there, so if you went through rotors that quickly, either you had too much bias up front with lack of a proportioning valve, the rotors were drilled, or Coleman rotors are REALLLY crappy. I would be inclined to say it's some combination of the first two.
:Part of your paragraph confuses me: did you go through the rotors in 3 days, or a whole season?

Thanks for the input ZinNnYc. The rotors cracked after only three track days. Less than 18 stints. My previouls Coleman rotors lasted more than one season, so I suspect they changed suppliers (maybe China) and the quality has really gone down hill. I have found out that brake ducting would help-which I will do regardless. The guy pushing the APs brakes use to work for them so he has some bias. I have not found anyone using the APs and the Stoptechs appear to be the popular choice for us "trackers."
