Hey folks
So I am planning the next phase of the build and I am settling with either the Paragon 355x32mm or 370x36mm kit. The car will mostly be a sprint race car (think 15-20 mins long races) with the occasional longer session with SCCA (think 30-40mins)
Car weight will be anywhere from 3200 to 3600lbs at race weight, 200TW tires Mostly east coast tracks (Pitt, Summit main, VIR, LRP, NJMP, Glen) am wondering if the longevity of the 370x36 kit in regards to rotor and pad are worth the price difference over the lighter weight 355x32mm kit?
Looking to shed as much weight as possible, but will gladly plunk down for the 370 kit if 355x32 wouldn't suffice for cars our weighta Keep in mind; reading through Essex's posting from several years ago, they make an endurance kit for ther Z06 with 325x32mm setup (stock is 355x36) that has seen massive increases in rotor and pad longevity

Offcourse, rotor and pad design (thickness and sweep for example) are every bit as important as size in regards to thermal capacity and not eating up pads and rotors
