is it actually hard to get 355's up to temp on track?
my stockers start fading after about 15 mins of lapping with hawk hp plus pads and they get kinda scary around 30 mins. has anyone noticed significant fade with something inbetween like 332?

dont be fooled by the lackluster stocker performance..
properly vented 332s + good brake fluid makes a HUGE difference from what i can tell.
that said, of COURSE you can still cook 355's on the track, but if you are doing that, i'd say you just might want to take another look at your braking zones, pad choice and the weight of your car... racing isn't always about maxing out every part of your car. sometimes to go fast, you just need to not break things

Typically, aftermarket brakes come with piston sizes that are compatible with OEM master --->
---> cylinders. The 8-pot pistons are much smaller which allows a narrower caliper.
