Did it once and it made the brakes feel very inconsistent. Initial pedal application did nothing and then all of a sudden the pads started to bite. Was disconcerting..

My theory about pad taper is that the caliper has different piston sizes, the bottom part of the caliper may be hottest, and/or the pads simply don't wear well with a lot of heat. I wonder if anyone has experienced a lot of taper with higher temperature compounds, or if added brake cooling reduces taper on stock pads. I've added the SS deflector kit to my ZLE but don't have any data yet on whether it helps.

How many days are you getting out of the 70s? I killed a brand new set in one day at Road America (82 laps).

I got two full days in this past June at Road America. 6 sessions each day ~ 80 total laps. I’ve noticed at other tracks I’m getting more life - even ones with decent straights and braking zones.
