its a matter of cooling! you can use your stock brembo's for track days in any kind of condition as long as you get proper air to the rotors, calipers! and if the cyber evo (the worlds fastest/record holding evo) can use it, why cant a amateur use them and hook up some good air ducts? please this is a forum and dont give out false information to people just so they can buy your setup.

last year i was at englishtown for every single event and even went down to florida for the redline time attack comp, until my engine blew! and guess what. I WAS RUNNING ON MY STOCK BREMBOS! and never had warpage or piston boots overheated! dont get me wrong i said stock brembo calipers, you do have to upgrade your lines, brake fluid and rotors!

yes i was, but the topic is of will his stock brembo's not work on track days, i personally LOVE your brake setup and want it direly, but i just dont like when you said his brembo's wont work on trackdays just so he could consider getting yours.

I tried everything with the stock set up. Stock meaning brembo calipers with proper fluid, lines, cooling and a few different kind of rotors with different brake pad compounds. IT DID NOT WORK - this is my experience. The rotors would always have pads smearing and some level of warpage.
I moved up to the Alcons and did not have that issue even without cooling.

Depending on how you drive, sure the Brembo's will work on trackdays no question. My brakes are for serious track junkies like you. I'm posting this on the for sale section and can't measure up everyone to make sure this is a right fit for them.
