    Anyone have issues with the pad cracking?

    Mine have been on for 10 000 km and are cracking.

    Cracks in the rotor surface are appearing as well.

    Never tracked the car.

    Way to make me nervous about my new pads.
    Uneven rate of expansion in severe duty environments?
    Sticky calipers?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I'd say sticky calipers and to much heat

    I've got reds. So here's hoping.

    It seems this is heat related.

    I guess stopping from 100 MPH+ isn't good for stock brakes.

    I have like, 40+ 140mph runs on a set of reds (i got them used off a friends car lol) on my fiero, they are still amazing. Never fade during use, no cracking and the rotors look great. I have looked at the pads more than a few times this year.

    More I look into it, the more it seems normal if your car is being tracked.

    The rotor cracking that is, not so much the pads.
