Got some frozen rotors... - Page 2

Tom, try some different pads.

It's pretty clear the HPS can't withstand your driving. (Some Axxis Ultimates might even clear off the crap on your rotors without any resurfacing.)

That sounds like good durability. How many schools does HACK get on a set of rotors? (dare we use Stuka for a data point?)

Well, the first 3 schools were done on the cross drilled rotors and they cracked. Otherwise they still had good life on them. So far in 2 schools with the OEM rotors they seem to hold up very well. I don't think I'm going to get 7 schools like MPS, maybe 1 season's worth, about 4-5 schools tops.

How much use have you gotten out of them?

I see Zeckhausen sells them. I wonder if he offers a Fest discount. (Hey, I'm not proud - and I'm CHEAP!).

IIRC, his listed price is pretty close to rock bottom in the first place.

If the ultimates don't do it, I think you're gonna have to go to track pads for the street.

Within a week or two, I'm going to have to post a tire recommendation thread. My fronts are damn near bald.

Also, can you (or anyone) see a problem with continuing to run the HPS pads in the rear and running something like the Ultimates up front?

Nope, no issue. You might have a slightly greater front brake bias.

(On the other hand, the popular bf.c E36 M3 track setup is Ultimate rears with some track pad up front, so the brake bias issue can't be bad.)

And how soon are you looking for tires? I may have a pair of ~60% tread S-03s available in the near future if you want something cheap while you wear out the MXes.

That'd work.

You got it about right. The front S-03s are near bald but the Kumho's still probably have another 5K on them (~40%).

Are they the standard BMW front size of 225/45/17?

If they aren't warped, there is actaully quite a bit of life on them. Probably had equivalent of 3.5 track weekends on them and a few thousand street miles.

I think the vibration might just be heavy grooving from the pads. Will see after some more time on street pads
