[s-cars] Taka: Brake fade

[Kevin Barnett]

"As for track use, I faded the Porsche 996 caliper /
MBZ 320x30mm rotor
running Hawk HPS pads at the Glen. Repeated 135 to 60
on the back 
straight"

It was the pads.  The Hawk HPS is a street pad and you
probably far exceeded the temp range for the pad
compound on track.

I run the HPS+ on the street on my S4 (still with
G60's in front) and have faded them on mountain roads
around the house when driving hard.  My issue would be
a compination of too small of a heat sink with the
smaller rotors and exceeding the temp range of teh pad
compound.

Best regards,
kevin
