[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 791764, member: 9525"] I cannot believe you posted that Adam. Brake temps are dependent upon many factors, mostly usage of car. Many on-track cars have temperatures great enough to make rotors glow red hot and explode. Cars with factory Brembos (STi, EVO, etc.) it is often easy to identify the cars that are tracked because their factory gold powdercoated Brembo calipers will be a dark shade of orange because of the prolonged heat exposure. If those kind of heats can discolor a OEM-quality finish, imagine what it will do to that $7 Pep Boys can. Regardless, I'd be more concerned about just the sheer other factors - brake dust, brake fluid, rain/snow/wind/cold, brake clean, etc. that the calipers are subjected to. [/QUOTE]
