I've taken some heat (no pun intended) about something being wrong with my installation or break-in procedure because others have experienced no issues with their brakes during autocross events...
Bullshit.
I'm the one driving my car. Not them. Doing 180 km/h to zero stops repeatedly does wonders to the material limits of our factory braking system.

Your options are to improve cooling or swap in front brakes from the NCP131.
There is a lot of fail happening here.

What kind of event are you doing that has you going from 180 km/h to zero repeatedly?

What kind of crap pads are you using?

Nobody is working Yaris brakes harder than we are, and we have had zero issues with the OE rotors and calipers.
