S12's discs are only 22mm thick. Coupled with calipers what dont do a good job of asborbing heat unlike the larger S14 caliper, they are more likely to fade. This is where the real issue lies. The braking force on std discs is reasonably ok, its just there ability to withstand continuous use which is a big issue. Even with the Portfield pads and new discs, I questioned their resistance to fading after a hard lap of the romford ring road.
is that the romford ring in your sig mart lol.
