Whoa! Mine never cracked that bad. It might be time, as Eddy suggests, to try a higher quality rotor

Wow... Thats some pretty good crack right there.
When I was looking at rotors, I considered getting in some Brembo blanks from the states for around $300AUD/pair. Maybe that might be an option...?Official ClubITR Sponsor: www.autosphere.com.au - For all your maintenance, oils and track needs.Comment

Do you think perhaps its more of a cooling problem your having with your rotors ??
I would try some DBA 4000's with perhaps some cooling mods./Oo ___H___ oO\

yeh maybe I should do some DIY cooling ducts, I really just CBF haha...too bad the s2k doesn't have OEM brake cooling ducts like the dc5r
I was pretty surprised to see how big the cracks were myself, I should have checked them after each session...
It was my first time using the PMU HC+ pads as well, I was told by numerous people that they are more rotor friendly haha...previously I was using Endless CC-R pads which cracked a set of OEM rotors I had a while back...Convertible Type RComment

Get either project mu or app 2 piece rotors will be your best bet

Dun remind me about that Johno. Wasted half a track day.Originally posted by TAAXED View PostI think I need to use some of that advice too, maybe next time!
btw can I ask what kind of rotors you guys use??
it's too bad that I didn't bring those CC-R pads for you Vincent!
I think I have a different perspective on your problem Johno. But firstly I need to ask what rear brake pads are you using?Comment

awesome pics, and great lap timesComment

just so you know, pads dont crack rotors,Originally posted by TAAXED View Post
rapid heating and cooling is what cracks rotors (i.e. the driver is responsible most times...)... retired/Comment

Thats right, pads wil wear or score your rotors, it is the rotors ability to handle the heat which will be the issue.Originally posted by tinkerbell View PostComment

As you say he is in an S2k which has a significantly more rearward weight balance compared to a DC5. The rear brakes will do proportionally more work. I am also not sure what significance this has to his front rotors cracking.Originally posted by air23box View Posthe is driving the red s2k mario......

I have done 12 track days on one set of rear pads.
