So pad type is wilwood 6617. I bought a set of XP10's to try out with them (full set of course).

I dont know about the US but european carbotech distributor will do any custom pad within reason... I even got them to make me a pad with stainless backing plates that I would send to them.. to bad life had other plans so I cant test that idea sooner..

well the camber plates weren't arriving in time, so i went ahead and reassembled with the old stuff. i dont think there's anything wrong with it, just kind of beat up. the rubber rings ohlins wants you to use between the spring and the mount at the top had torn, so i replaced both with swift's thrust washers. hopefully that handles some of the noise, which may have been spring binding..
otherwise, car is ready for the next set of mods... dying for another event.. midwest just shuts down between november and march

this is what girodisc said w.r.t. the rotors:
At any rate your rotors actually look great and have a lot of life left in them. The microfractures on the surface of the disc are simply a byproduct of rapidly heating and cooling the cast iron but they are 100% superficial and do not effect the integrity of the rotor at all. It’s only an issue if one of the cracks goes out over the edge or opens up to the point where you could easily stick your fingernail between it, if it’s just catching on them it’s a non issue. I say keep beating on them, they have plenty of life left.

Those rotors are fine. I've had every single set of rotors do exactly that. Bad cracks are the ones that go to the edges and you can see them on the side of the rotor. What you have are micro surface cracks and are 100% normal.
Even my huge stoptech trophy rotors do that.
After a couple of sessions at your next event those will go away, then come back when you come back home and the rotor fully cools
Some photos of mine over the years

I have had rotors like that many times and, at that point, watch them carefully after every session, inside and outside for a crack that raises safety issues. I hate it. It's always such a good feeling to get new ones on again and not worry so much. The older I get, the earlier I replace them.

more or less said that for lower quality rotors, these cracks could be an issue, but normal on theirs and i've got tons of life left on them still. good point on checking the insides, which is going to be tricky to do regularly.

what coolant temp should the stock system target once the car is fully warmed up?
