can i change my brake calipers?

[shortstack23]

I have been having the time of my life in the track lately, spent about 3 days But I have an issue now these brake calipers were burnt! Did this happen because I used the car in the track too much? (I don't think that was too much..) Can i change these brake calipers or should I get new pads to prevent this from happening in the future?

Three track days can definitely push the limits of the stock brakes, especially the Premium's! Burnt calipers usually indicate overheating, something common in extended track use.

Upgrading the pads can help with heat resistance but it doesn't solve the core issue if you say your calipers have been damaged. For long-term solution, best to upgrade to higher-temperature brake fluid, track-specific pads, and replace your calipers with a big brake kit.

@shortstack23 How are things holding up now? Did you get them fixed, and did you try any different pads for your track days?

You might not need to replace the calipers unless they're leaking or totally cooked, start with upgrading to proper track pads, high temp fluid, and maybe some cooling ducts if you're going back out there, for anyone else whos interested in doing the same thing
