Got around to installing the W6.5's in the rear, had been running W5's but wanted to add some more 'bite' to the brakes.
Must say this was a good change, had to reset all my normal braking points at QR, could brake a lot later and with more control than previously. This is the way it will remain, just need to play around with the bias but irrespective there is not much to change. However, rear brake cooling needs to be developed as the temps of the rear rotors are getting up there
Green to White 458
Orange to yellow 550
Red to white 630
Fronts got up to around 475, RL around 630 and the RR 550. Whilst the rear temps are well within the pad temp range, cooler would be better.
Also have the measurements of the rear rotors/pads so can give some feedback on how they wear.
