Exclamation Camaro SS 1LE brakes suck (change my mind)

Good morning Al,

I just had my first track day with the SS 1LE Camaro!
Everything was great except the brake temperatures.
I boiled the brake fluid (Motul RBF600)

-----------------------------------------------------

'18 Camaro
  • Fluid: Motul RBF600 bled 2 days before event
  • Pads: Raybestos ST-43
  • Caliper Temp = 500 F (after cooldown)
  • Rotor Temp = 650 F (after cooldown)
I thought the SS 1LE was FOR lapping days. It's designed with coolers, 2-piece rotors, 6-piston calipers, brake ducting...
And it STILL boiled the racing brake fluid (I exited the main straight @ 60mph into the grass).
-----------------------------------------------------

So i come to you looking for recommendations.

Thank you kindly,
~ Sean
