Brembos need some new rotors

HPS is not a track pad... if you're getting crazy agressive with them, then they are going to cause you problems, but then, you also said you're only on the street, which implies that you shouldn't need much more.

 

The FB stage2 kit is just pads and rotors... nothing really crazy fancy in there, but a good upgrade for the street. Drilled rotors are offered, but that's a bad idea for any real performance (did you get drilled rotors?)

 

Bottom line is, many people have been doing quite well with HPS pads on the street, and many people are doing very well with stock-style rotors on tracks (with the right pads, of course). So, maybe you're just doing something wrong.

 

And, as mweiner said - you're not bedding your pads properly with your procedure. Maybe you should read a bit more from Stoptech's site about warped rotors and bedding procedures:

"For a typical performance brake system using street-performance pads, a series of ten partial braking events, from 60mph down to 10mph, will typically raise the temperature of the brake components sufficiently to be considered one bed-in set. Each of the ten partial braking events should achieve moderate-to-high deceleration (about 80 to 90% of the deceleration required to lock up the brakes and/or to engage the ABS), and they should be made one after the other, without allowing the brakes to cool in between."

And it's fun, too, if you find an empty road!

that's not how you bed rotors

 

i have the centric units daily driving on hps. the legacy is somewhat semi retired from super aggressive driving.

 

i have no doubts that they will perform admirably on the track though..

 

sounds like someone is getting a little defensive back there
