BMW has never had any stock pads that were that good on the track, most people replace them right away if tracking. I would assume it's the same on the Supra.
It's totally normal if it's only doing that when cold/ just started. As long as the smoke isn't thick and stays lingering in the air. If it dissipates quickly then I wouldn't worry about it
I get that, I was clarifying(for people that may not know) that it's not actually the quality of carbon fiber cloth that makes a piece turn yellow, but the quality of the resin used in the layup / top coat of the part.
It has nothing to do with the carbon fiber, it's the epoxy resin(and/or clear coat) that is used that provides the UV resistance and resistance to yellow
I also come from racing motocross, and the thought was always break it in how you would normally be using it, so we would break em in hard. The thought was that was the proper way to seating/sealing the rings properly
