The stock brake gets too hot, the rotors can't dissipate the heat fast enough, and the pads are crap. Everything I've said only applies to the fronts though, the rears work fine even on stock pads at the track.
I also agree.

I had my rotors and pads changed twice with the warranty due to them being warped. Stock pads are really bad (i guess depending on driver speeds and track).

I was also told it should be deposits but after 2 weeks of it not going away i brougbt it to the dealer and was confirmed they were warped.

I rememeber Leh Keen having the same problem and people that didnt know at the time that he was a pro racer were saying he didnt know how to drive. Im not saying im anywhere near his level... Lol
