The brake people will tell you that stepping on the brakes when it is REALLY hot MAY cause rotor warpage...... this may be mitigated by the use of good quality brake components where the manufacturer would have considered all these variables in manufacture....Conclusion? IMHO Not straighforward...... but what is clear is that brake components geenrally cost less than a auto tranmission rebuild or replacement <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
