I think "set it and forget it" is the wrong mentality for race car. But to each their own.
For most parts yes, but a properly engineered braking system generally needs pad, rotor and fluid replacement as indicated. No moving and flipping brake pads. SYT-Shadow and I as well as others have run the PFC Z-54 brake kit for literally years with no abnormal pad wear whatsoever regardless of suspension, pad type or use. It's an engineering/design problem which track drivers like us should not have to tolerate.
This makes tons of sense, and I agree with y'all. SYT has articulated his frustrations with the problem to the nth degree.

I don't however subscribe to the "these cars and parts should just work without any oversight" logic. When you consider the activity's risks.
