Have you tried anything but OEM pads? I have two track days on the rotors and they still look pretty good but Summit Point is not too hard on brakes. My front calipers, however, have turned a nice gold color from the heat!

I saw on another thread that if you disconnected the SBC that the pistons would retract and it made it easier to change the pads. I am not sure if we have the selective brake control.
Golden calipers, the track day badge of honour

Anyone have the measurement to know if the rotor is shot?

Thanks,

The wear limit should be stamped on the outer edge of the rotor in mm.

Thanks, I'll check to see if I can read the stamping.

I've heard from my dealer the sensors are consumables, what is the verdict?
