I doubt it unless you've got a lot of track days and/or mileage racked up? Any sign of hairline cracking etc...? They are supposed to squeal and will do so That part is normal....

Lots of track days, cracks starting to form and yes the squeek was there but lately very very load...its like my pagid race pads are on there...what do you look for the rotor thickness or the cracks or both?

Oh i see... ok well see how much of a lip there is? I'm on the road today and using an iphone so I'd need to ask James on the rotor thickness but again check how much of a lip you've got...

Ah.. that sounds better Post some pix of your rotors as well... Sounds like it might be time to replace them.... You can get slotted ones that should last you longer at the track.

New GT3 front and rear 2pc Brembo rotors available from Sharkwerks or Vivid Racing. If you upgrade your cracked and haggard rotors to these, you will not be replacing or having pad wear issues for a long time. Put some Pagid Yellow on there and you will be very happy.

I picked up the brembo 2pc rotors from dan at vividracing and they are the real deal. Havent had a proper track day yet as VIR was rained out last weekend, but I'll be hitting up NJMP Thunderbolt on Saturday to finally see how they are on the track.

The limited track time in the wet that I got at VIR brakes were actually the area where the car felt the most comfortable.

I'll update with a review after Saturday

For some of us standard might be the PCCB, Its a matter of perception hahah.

But I see that he was refering to the cast irons.. LOL
