Car was doing double duty, running in instructor and advanced group, back to back, all day. He was not running backing plates.
Disclaimers; 50-60 deg ambient and summit point raceway (not that hard on pads), so not WORST case scenario-- but I'm stoked. Will be installing this winter.Old, not obsolete.

I started going back through this topic from the beginning. For context I followed Ian's link to Ohio Performance Solutions, and it looks like something has changed in the last year. Anyone ever heard of this manufacturer? https://www.ohioperformancesolutions...-rebuild-partsLast edited by D-O; 08-07-2024, 06:21 PM.Old, not obsolete.

After over four years of searching for a company to produce high-quality alternatives to the brake caliper rebuild scene, We are pleased to announce a partnership with Frenkit S.L. out of Navarra, Spain, who agreed to start a new performance product line to cater to the motorsport community.
At the onset of 2019, continuing well into the COVID era, we began to see the quality control, materials composition, and packaging of “high temperature” caliper rebuild kits becoming subpar. Thus began our mission to find a manufacturer who would produce the products we and the motorsport community needed. Many manufacturers refused to meet with us as; however, in 2021, a company based out of Spain reached out with an inquiry to expand its product offerings in the US market.
All Frenkit Performance silicon boots have a temperature range of -40°C to +300°C compared to EPDM temperature range of -40° to +160°C.
Rebuild kits to include pistons should be here in a week.
Nice to be back.

Originally posted by SQ13 View PostIt's weird that Girodisc boots are a popular solution for cracking OE boots in the Porsche GT world, but they don't work in our application. Are the 345mm rotors too small?
Girodisc rotors are a much better design and have performed much better for me with their proper cooling and increased vane count (data points on pad wear, not boiling fluid, temp paint and/or stickers on rotors/pads/calipers, etc).
Sidenote for all, FCP now carries Girodisc rotors. You can't find them using category filters because you can only filter by left vs right and Girodiscs are sold as pairs, so do a keyword search. Word of caution and take it as you will, rotors last a lot longer than you think (think years), vs pads which need to be replaced every few track days.
Did Girodiscs solve my problem with broiled boots? No. Remember, pretty much everything goes south once you got your pads below 50%. And I got the full works at this point with no shield, cooling ducts, ti pistons, ti 1mm shims, Girodisc rotors, silicone boots, etc. I'm tired of swapping the boots, so I'll sit out on trying these.
