After doing lapping days at Blackhawk Farms Raceway with the '03 Mustang Cobra on Saturday, the I came back with the following problems:
1) Glazed front rotors with hairline radial cracks in the glazed portion,
2) Dust boot on caliper pistons melted and/or cracked,
3) Evidence of brake fluid boil over,
4) development of loud clunking noise upon hard braking
I had Hawk HP Plus pads in the front. I bedded/burnished according to instructions. When I got home I took the Hawks out and put the stock pads in. The Hawk pads, which were new before the event, were heavily worn. Still have the loud clunking noise upon hard braking. With heavy braking the pedal goes past the normal range of motion almost to the floor with the clunky sound becoming very pronounced.
Help! Do I have a major brake problem to deal with here? Let me have any thoughts you all may have.
