I think Voodoo is cutting in at turn T8 and skipping T9 to T14 to get to a minute and 19 seconds

I'm running stock calipers with Cobalt Spec VR front pads and Cobalt Spec C rear pads. I was getting a lot of pulsing from the brakes and my braking distance was a good 10+ feet longer going into turn 14. When I got home, I took a closer look at my rotors and my rear rotors had some very interesting wear on them. At first I thought I had grooved them, but after washing my car, the "grooved" area didn't rust like the rest of the rotor, so I think it was more likely brake pad buildup because I didn't swap rear rotors out like I do my front rotors.

I've found the spec C's to be horrid on rear rotors. The pads didn't last long and neither did my rotors.

I run hawk blues on the rear and am much happier with them. Hope cobalt gets the VR compound in the rear soon! or something like it.

I'm thinking about trying out the Cobalt GT-Sport for the rear.

A. We now know the problem was the rear rotors.

B. I was going to run them, but Cobalt Friction didn't have them instock.

GFL/S2KI Marketplace usually maintains stock of the s2K cobalt pads.
