Brakes Heat Soaking...

[d.p]

I've noticed that on drives longer than 3hours my brakes will start to engage a lot slower and sometimes cause me to pull the e-brake to not slam into the car in front of me. I noticed it really bad on my last trip down to Houston. I know I put the car through its paces, but it shouldn't fall off so fast. A friend of mine that is ASE certified on brakes said it could be because of heat soak. I know that there are aftermarket rotors available, do yall think they will help?

Wow! And I thought I was hard on brakes!

To answer your question: Yes.

One of the vendors did a study: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t4727/

I am sure you have seen it but may be have forgot. For the record, I went with the Carbotechs as I do not have the fading problem, I just go thru pads like nobody's business.
