Brembo discoloration after track day?
Tried searching....
I have an EVO IX GSR.
My brembos (front) turned slightly maroon and the writing went yellow after a recent track day (running endless CCX pads). Is this normal? I'm guessing the heat cooked the paint - but would have thought brembos could withstand the heat of a track day? Was only doing 5 lap stints...
FRONT
REAR for comparison

Looks like it. I recently sanded my brakes down with 400 grit sandpaper... sprayed them with duplicolor high temp red paint. Ordered the high temp brembo stickers on ebay, then cleared them with duplicolor high temp paint.
