Cool Carbon pads can easily handle the heat; check for rotor warpage or localized deposits of friction material that can occur from parking car with very hot components and without allowing pads and rotors to cool. Proper bedding initially generally keeps this from occurring. Pads may need to be re-bedded if driven on the street for extended periods between events.

It is also possible that foreign material between the wheel and the rotor surface or between the rotor and the hub can cause vibration after parts heat up. Cool carbon pads dissipate heat generally better than most due to among other things, a hollow fiber being used and they will also will operate above 600C (1112F). Generally track temperatures generated do not exceed 900F .
