I am sure many other cars suffer from this too.
What I don't understand is that in 20 years, nobody's come up with a solution yet !!! Is it a steering geometry / stability problem ? The roads ? Too small a disc setup for the weight of the car ?
Mine regularly heat up to the point where they are completely useless and dont work at all. If I'm using them hard all I do is drive say the last 10 miles home cruising and avoiding using the brakes at all. By the time I get home the air has totally cooled them and I can park it straight up...Discs arent warped in the slightest!
So yeah its definetly heating them right up and leaving the car sitting that does it.
