Check out the the lastest issue of Sport Compact car. They do a comparison of stock rotors with upgraded pads vs. The Stasis rotor on the Evo. Their consensus was that the difference in performance was negligible, and would be for about 98% of us, including track usage. for a radically tuned and prepared car like the Vishnu evo with a professional driver, it would probably make a difference. Just some input.

plus the unsprung weight savings will also help acceleration (as well as cornering and braking) because of the rotational weight savings (small but real). If you ever plan on doing a track day or downhill canyon runs you will run out of our (very good for stock) brakes in a hurry.

Is "running out of brakes" more a function of the rotors or the pads, cooling, and lines? I'm not debating, because I definitely defer to your knowledge and experience in this area. I am planning on doing three track events this summer, and have upgraded my pads, lines, and fulid. I have hte stock rotors. Just wondering if this is going to be enough.

The SCC article was pretty interesting. They drove a 4.9 mile, downhill mountain road (1,426 feet of elevation change) with both brake configurations (stock/DS2500 and Stasis/DS2500) They measured temps at the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill.
Stock @ the top:
236* outer edge
160* at the hat
Stock @ the bottom
945* outer edge
745* at the hat
Stasis@ the top
102* outer edge
112* at the hat
Stasis @ the bottom
1000*+ outer edge
670* at the hat
They had fade on both runs - at exactly the same spot on the hill - and said the brakes came right back for the next corner. They also reported that the car had plenty of brakes at the bottom of the hill - despite the rotors glowing cherry red. I don't know if their Evo has the brake cooling guides or not, but they did the same test with their STI (Prodrive rotors and DS3000 pads) and the STI's temps were substantially higher in every test point except one.
Oh and there are some pretty cool pics, including one of the STI's brakes on fire.
