The powdercoated rotors after some HARD track days DID NOT discolor like like the stock painted ZL caliper did so the heat is NOT affecting the powdercoating at all.

THATS how I know .



Any post starting with:



"First off..." or "Look..." i tend to ignore anyway. But let's press on, shall we?


What pads you running? I have the Ti shields too and ducting. Sh*t still gets toasty.
