Hey, Run the track and do what that car is meant to do! Don't worry about some caliper color. I've run a minimum of a thousand miles on road tracks, and many, many hard breaks from 135-140 m.p.h. with absolutely no color change in my calipers. Normc32, Carl AMG, dsC32 jcanabal, and others have exactly the same experience. No color change, and we all drive like hell on the track, and have fun racing each other. Do it! A C32 ain't a museum piece.

I agree, drive it hard, and have some fun, IF the calipers turn gold then so what. No way with any silicon spray for me.

Learn to enjoy the color for awhile, but if you can't or if you ever get tired, just replace the whole 9-yards with AMG again.

The whole C32 front system was inexpensive from EvoSport.

i agree about the "experience" but im not wanting to pay the replacement cost of them just for some track time (good to hear you guys have been and no probs)

Is Texas World Speedway an oval? If so, you're not going to use your brakes that much. On a road course, you're going at max speed into sharp and acute turns, taking the car from 135 to 35 in just a few seconds. That's hard on brakes. Braking to slow for a corner on an oval just isn't nearly hard on brakes.
