Track Rotors - Not drilled or slotted, Anyone make 'em?
Does anyone make a one-piece plain rotor that is track worthy, or at least more track worthy than stock? I've only had luck finding slotted, dimpled & cross drilled.

You and me both buddy. I've been *****ing about this since I bought the car.
PM primo8998 He is a vendor and can get you rotora blanks. It's a much better solution than going the expensive stoptech or whatever other huge brake upgrade route.

you can get centric blanks from some vendors. I believe they are the same rotors that Rotor Pros and Rotoa use to make their slotted and drilled rotors.

I got them recently - centric rotors - the do not crack as quick as some other rotors......
I would have to check how much I paid - I have the receipt at home - somewhere.
They were the least expensive of them all though.

My front disks are pretty scored up, so it's probably just time to replace them.

Ferodo DS2500. I put them on in March for my first DE day. Bedded them in per the StopTech instructions on the street, then had a DE in May.
The nice blue layer of pad transfer wore off a long time ago, so I started this DE with shiny silver disks. Didn't bed them in on the street, since I planned to just do that on the track. The first three sessions were in the rain with it about 60 degrees outside with a slippery track, so I never got enough heat into the braking system to get pad material to transfer to the disk. The brake judder was there on the first session the first time I got on the brakes.
I used the OEM pads on the rotors, but I've had almost 6 months with the DS2500's.

Did your car have much brake squeal when you put the Brembo front pads back on?
