Also, I would guess you had the same issue I had a while ago. Pads/rotors would be fine, but fluid was dead causing f'all pedal and pedal dropping to the floor right when you don't want it.
Replace with fresh fluid and all is good again. Before circuit events like Collie, prolly a good idea to bleed through some new fluid.

Any pad that is labelled a street / track pad is eventually going to struggle anywhere. They did the job ( Dave didn't smash into anything ) but unless it's a track spec pad the confidence in them will start to diminish but they will still work, just.
Collie is just so tough because they don't have much of a chance to cool down between corners unlike Barbs where there are longer straights to get a bit of air through them.

I used ex Indycar brake pads at Collie once. They didn't get warm enough and chewed through the slots in my discs in 6 laps. doh!

Pretty much the truth there andrew, Collie is hard on brakes, i didnt think it was going to be that bad, but considering that i was on the brakes consistantly from 120km/h down to around 70-80 every 15-20 seconds, the heat soak built up in them DAM quick. Especially on the back straight, i was approx 150km/h down to 60-70 for the chicane, then 15sec later, 120 back to 60 for the main straight.

Cheers For the input guys,
Ill grab 2 bottles of the brembo stuff, flush them completely, and grab some new rear pads.
