appreciate the feedback and totally agree.

I have a Recaro Profi race seqt , six point harness , Hanns and a harness bar. Only thing im missing is full cage. I looked into those but it seems pretty involved to do it properly. And seems like it would really restrict space in the car as well. Still thinking about it though

To be candid and blunt, so are hospital traction beds and wheelchairs.

You are much more engaged at this time than the more casual visitors to this site, and your car is faster than most. Two good cage sources in CA are http://www.tcdesignfab.com/about and https://trackspecmotorsports.com/roll-cages

Second vote for TC Design.
Tony C is a class act and has been the go-to guy (in the BMW world, anyway...) for years.

The tapered wear may be caused with extreme heat causing the caliper pistons to expand and apply unevenly. I would consider the titanium pad backing plates from Girodisc or similar. Won’t cost much to try that experiment.

On my previous C6 Z06 my Stoptech trophy brakes wore unevenly as well
