Performance Friction rotor install.
So Im in the process of getting my PFC BBK for next season. For the mean while what rules allow me to have is a rotor and pad setup. So here are a couple goodies of what Ive installed.
In this picture you can see the brembos uneven pressure distribution has worn the inboard side of the disc more then the out board side.
Lost 5lbs of unsprung weight per corner
Old Pads vs new race pads.
If you dont care about Pad click remove this bugger. You dont have them in the rear so you already have some click so why not. These do no good but stop noise. But they make your pads wear en evenly and create drag.
And Installed
Caliper Temp stickers previously installed and the 250 mark is burnt off lolz oops. SRF fluid helps this out.

I don't understand how the clip causes the uneven wear on the rotor. Seems like knock-back force would be more than enough to move the pads with them in place.
Are the pads also worn unevenly? Was the condition of the rotors and pads the same for both sides of the car?
It's kinda disappointing that the four-piston fixed-caliper setup had uneven rotor wear. Did you inspect the caliper parts to see if everything is working as it should be?

PF is a reputable brand and one of the few that offer 2 piece rotors for OEM Brembo. 2 piece = weight savings.
OP rotors are sweet.... helped a friend install these on his EVO.. construction is top notch.
on another note, i've been running without the clips in the rear on oem brembos and went to the track without them. They held up fine with the exception of the noise when going over bumps. I actually went and bought the clips last week to resolve the noise. I knew I didn't need it but oh well.

This is just my guess but:
