Hey guys,
I'm beginning to think my brake calipers eat pads for breakfast, lunch and dinner at WGI!
I was at the Glen this weekend and I have completely destroyed a set of PFC 01's up front. My rear pads (on stock calipers) still have 50% life left which is understandable.
The calipers for reference:
I had fresh ATE super blue fluid in there which I know is complete garbage so I suspect that might have something to do with the pad life. This is the second time I've destroyed a set of pads at WGI. I have since replaced the fluid with Motul 600 RBF.
This is what happened to my pads last year at the Glen. My fault entirely for not checking but it happened on the 3rd session, the 2nd day. Same exact timing as it was this year, same fluid too.
My pads from this past event:
I should also mention that I've got a 7 series master cylinder paired with an E21 booster (S52B32 swap).
Thoughts?
*On more note*
This has only happened at the Glen. I've been to Lightning, Shenandoah and LRP and did not experience any of these problems... granted they are not nearly as fast but pad wear was nowhere near this pad.
To those finding this thread... Switching back to a **stock** master cylinder cured my issues.
