Super is right. I still have the rear plates on my '76-3.0, and I never got any fading in it on the track (but the car is lightened. The brakes on it are the SC brakes..

The Fat Bastard Carrera though, needs help. The plates are still on all corners. I went through the pads a lot faster in it than I do in the '76 (but the Fat Bastard is 2600lbs w/o me in it). I could feel a little fading as the pads wore and heating increased (not specifically related to the thinning pads), or it could be I don't like the vacuum assist. The front's could benefit from removing the plates and cooling, but the rears..not that much.
