stock brake set-up

I am thinks about going to a road course this summer (VIR).
I have a stock 9.
Will my rotors last?
2 days with 25-30 minutes of course driving each day.

I think you mean BRAKE set up. Yes they should last. People do that all the time.

Rotors will. Pads and fluid will NOT.

Your thread is great - The Brake Rotor, Pad, Line, Fluid, and Duct Thread.
I think I will pass on the VIR trip until I save up enough money for a track (brakes) set-up.
Thanks

Don't pass it up!! Especially if you've never tracked a car before, you will be hooked!!

i think you should go anyways, not only is it fun but it will also help you gain some experience, plus ive alway been a firm believer of maxing out the car stock before changing/upgrading anything so that you can get a feel for what is and look forward to what could be, but thats just me, but in any case go just for the hell of it, but at the very least change your brake fluid and bring an extra set of pads or two
