I have maybe another 1/2 season with current studs. Ran them initially with ccb, so might have to get some more info on those bits...
Nice insight on the pads. Was recently schooled on pad taper and extending life with intermittent rotation/flips by an indy P shop. Believe tech said sometimes as much as 50% more life if you're consistent with it. I do see developing after a couple of events on RSL1 and stock calipers. The longer the pads, the more taper.
AP Racing system and calipers are designed to counteract, pretty cool:
The pistons in our AP Racing calipers have differential bores (pistons are different sizes) designed to combat this issue. The piston on the leading edge is smaller to apply less pressure, while the trailing piston is larger to apply more pressure, which helps even out the wear.
