Of course, trying a $16 part is a no brainer. So is using SRF. Or using shims and vented pistons for high torque pads. Etc. That's common sense and i completely agree with it.
When i first tried ST43s on a track notoriously hard on brakes, i thought my fronts were gonna catch on fire Nascar style after one session I also cooked the fluid, which was just fine with stock pads (Willwood 570). Went back with stock pads, zero heat issues and got a new PB, which still stands as a 1le record there, incl times posted during provincial Time Trail competition (just in case your next suggestion were to be that i am not fast enough

Just poking good fun at you. Sorry I meant that the stock cooling is sufficient for almost any pad, but could be better as to extend the life of those particular pads and rotors. I'm a cheap bastard so anything that improves the longevity outta $600-700 pads is worth looking into. And I probably do over-brake at times
