Last year I did a HPDE at Mid-Ohio with the 16 EX-T. It was awesome. I changed the brake fluid to a higher temp fluid prior to the track day but I did not change the pads. I was curious. Anyways, I put on a smoke show the second 20-minute session, did a relaxing drive the third, and skipped the fourth. Brake and rotors where toast! I should dig up the pictures around here somewhere. They tell an interesting story.
Anyways, I ended up replacing front and rear rotors and pads. I bedded them. Over a year later, I just got finished replacing the rear rotors and pads (plenty of life left on both) because of a bad judder felt in the brake pedal and not the steering wheel. The rear rotors showed signs of uneven wear/heating with pad outlines and different coloration at some locations around the disk. It was not a uniform looking surface even though it felt smooth. The fronts rotors / pads look fine.
Problem: I cannot get rid of the judder in the pedal with the new, third set of rotors and pads. I have swapped rotors left to right. Cannot get rid of it.
So my question - did I bake some rubber or other component that can manifest as a judder in the rear and it not be the rotors and pads? Calipers? The second set (after track) rears did show signs of uneven heating/wear with proper bedding. I don't want to mess up the current, third set, if I can solve the actual problem.
Any ideas? I am out.
