Well it turns out I never did lose my lock nut ket, I just wasn't looking hard enough. Found it on Saturday morning so I didn't waste any time getting the new rims on finally...
Here's what they look like on my friends S15 as well...

Ordered some new rotors all round yesterday and they turned up this morning at work :thanks:
Performance Friction 2 Piece up front and DBA 4000 for the rear. These will be going on before the next track day with a new set of DS3000 pads I have sitting in the garage.

Spent the day fitting the new rotors and pads. Was nice an easy since it gets done every few thousand k's so no rusted on rotors or stripped bolts to worry about.
Haven't bedded them in yet cause I'd had too much to drink by the time I was done
Once I had the front wheels off I made sure I was set up well in the garage...
The std front rotor was still in great condition. Not that they had had much use, maybe 5 track days tops and general road use in between. The DS3000 pads that went on at the same time were down to the last 3mm or so.
New rotor mmm
The rear rotors are showing a bit more wear but the pads still look almost new, maybe only 2mm less meat than the new pads. I was a bit surprised at this.
New rears...
Piece of cake

He has a company, a carrer, and understands the value of a dollar? 
OP: You are going to love that brake set up. I ran the exact same thing last year and had great results. Just don't go cheap on fluid...Castrol SRF is your friend!
