OEM Honda Brake discs

Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.

Pros: easy repairs, good performance
Cons: parking brake seized
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 180000 km

Only installed dba dimpled and slotted rotors with bendix suv pads. Better bite than standard. Only had it for 1000km while towing my 4.5m tinny. Cant help with longevity

I bought new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. Car is 370z.

Did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.

Today i went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, fluid will change.... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90kmh to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then i checked paint markings, all changed colors, indicating rotors exceeded 630°C.

And that was one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but i feel slight judder around 120kmh, and when i brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.

Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint?

Pros: works perfectly initially
Cons: pedal got soft, brakes smoking
