Geoff, took 1/2 an hour for the drivers side, and 15 mins for the passengers, but got there eventually,

Tuna, hope they're no cheap, their the original Sti rims.

Sturbaru, did this last time it happened, again after a track day.

GX-Rex, The rims have been powder coated, before I got them, and had no issues for the first 6 or 7 track days that I have done, bit iffy with grease melting and getting on the disc, but then again copper grease is used on the backs of pads.

Mr D, this is most likely part of it, not that I'm getting much faster, but I have changed the type of brake pad. When the Bendix ultimates were being used, no issues, now using QFM A1RMs same discs, so there could be some extra heat.

I finish the event, wait about 10 minutes for things to cool down a bit, then change (or try to) the rims.

Straight roads are for fast cars, twisty roads are for fast drivers. I have or am neither.
