That's funny you can still bring up those old posts from 3 years ago, most boards archive that old stuff. I forgot to mention back then the guy still had his temporary plates on his car :lmao:
At least you can blame getting exposed to this addiction on your wife for telling you about that event, I have no excuse.

I got a set of brembo's that were zinc washed. I had them on for my very first track event @ Gingerman. You may remember:

Anyways, the zinc peeled off on me that weekend. I think it would work on a street car, but it will not work on a track car.
I had a set of front rotors (which get much hotter w/o brake cooling at the time), that didn't peel. They did get those spider web cracks and I switch them out once I noticed the cracks getting close to the edge. Now that I think of it, the guy that sold them to me said they were cadium plated. I just am used to seeing the term "zinc washed" on all that slotted/cross drilled junk you see on ebay.
These rear rotors will be used for both street & track because I'm even too lazy to switch rear pads at the track. I still have the 10 year old stock rear rotors on the car now. After 34k miles and 25 track days, they still have a little left to them. I think the reason they lasted so long was because they were well seasoned with 20k street miles before the car ever saw a road course.
