Some great info guys, and I appreciate it.
No doubt I was more conscious of my braking techniques the rest of the day, so I can’t tell you that didn’t factor in. When I’m being sloppy, I do tend to go into threshold braking zones at 50% and increase braking as I decelerate — versus immediate hard braking and slowly release as you approach turn-in. But, I don’t “drag” them either, so I doubt that was the entire reason for this.
It’s also my understanding that ESC is mostly about the rear brakes. But, I could FEEL them kicking in hard during that first run, and my feeling was it was the fronts as much as anything. But, I might be wrong.
The strange part is that this was my fifth track day with the car and third on this track - first time with a brake issue. First day on the tune though.
What I do know is that I will be extraordinarily conscious of my braking technique going forward, and use only Sport 2 with an eye towards RACE mode.
The decision point for me is whether to replace the calipers or assume the “damage” is only cosmetic and ride them out.
