That would be interesting to test but I haven’t seen any signs that my rear pads or rotors overheating.I think maybe they may be hinting at that the W5 will scrape off your old material in cold/abrasive mode while street driving. You will inevitably need to bed the material on the rotor for best performance before getting on track. Versus the carbotech street pad transfer layer is compatible with their race pads, so the user can just swap pads at the track, no need for a wasted time to bed the pads onto the rotors.

I just recall on the s2k forums that with ventilated rear rotors, it allowed alot more life for the front brake system because the fronts are not compensating for the over heated rears. Brake pad life and rotor life increased. Unfortunately, you had to modify the rear caliper brackets to have ventilated 2 piece rotors in the back. I am very surprised that Girodisc is able to give the Type R ventilated rears, I suspect the improvement in pad life/rotor life would also be seen on the Type R.
