Re: GTD Spindle / upright impact on braking performance

The wear marks on your rotor suggest that the rotor is slightly thicker at the outer dia or that it is warped a little. Did you mic the rotor to check that it is the same thickness at the major and minor dia's of the brake swept area of the rotor. If it is warped or tapered a clean up cut on a lathe should fix your problem. My setup is very similar to yours (except that I have 13" rotors front and rear), and with heavy use of the brakes I experience very little fade even when they get almost red hot.
