Yeah, the pedal went thump cause was practicing braking later and later and boiled the brake juice. Ended up getting frozen holed and slotted rotors. Painted the outside edges of the rotors with some temp sensitive paint that changed colors so you could tell what temperature they were. They got up to 750°F. So then got pads for that temp range.

Didn't have any brake boiling problems with any other cars. The GTS didn't boil but had to disconnect the wear sensors built into the pads, they kept melting and setting off the pad wear light. Oh yeah, and i change a step up with the brake bias valve to add a little more rear braking, but not enough to evoke the ABS from the rears locking up, but enough you could initilate the car starting to rotate on turn-in under braking. Put frozen holey rotors in the rear, but haven't worn the front brakes enough to put on new rotors. Plan was to change them if the rotors would ever wear out.
