Community, I have a 2018 GT Manual non performance pack 4 piston brake setup that am starting to take it to the track but also is my daily and only car.
Currently I have only taken my car once since I bought it and already starting to think in improving/upgrading them.
First of all, I really wanted to prove (also for laziness and time and cost related to it) the OE set up in a track day environment even knowing was not the best thing to do. The results, well speak for themselves...
Next the list of repairs/concerns about that only trackday of 5 sessions of 25 mins (each) with this setup in a friendly brake track...
OE Pads (according to shop) were calcined but still have 50% at least of life, I was required to change them for my safety
OE DOT 4 needed to be replaced (according to shop as well) for the same reason as last point
Rotors of all 4 corners needed to be resurface to eliminate scratches in order to work properly with new pads
What I want to try next time, before I break the bank with something that I probably don't need at the moment, like a big brake kit upgrade. Is to buy good brake pads and maybe stainless steel brake lines for both front and back, am sure someone has done this brake setup for track use before, and would like to know how was it? which issues arise? recommended actions?
Am planning on taking my car to track around 10 times a year switching pads to OE for street use and for track any suggestions?
In summary would like to know a mid budget friendly set up for my brakes. Rotors, Track Pads, Brakes lines?
In addition the pads that am looking at are Hawk HB802G.661 Front and HB774G.650 Rear
