actually i was VERY disappointed with the stock brakes at my 2 track days. I beleive aftermarket brakes are a worth while mod for track days just wish I had the cash to drop on them, I need suspension first

Also I think your post was not needed and slightly rude, they are just trying to sell a quality product

No doubt Diesel. New pads would be a great start for tracking. The stock pads seem to have street application ONLY in mind as they give quickly once up to track temperatures.
The 2pc rotor idea sounds good, but I wonder what sort of heat absorbtion losses occur when replacing the standard huge iron center with an aluminum piece...

aluminum is more tolerant and dissapates heat alot better than iron... that iron will soak it up and just cook 'em...

I was at the track for 4 days and the stock brakes held up very well.
Although they are not good for racing, they are very good for driving school events in my opinion.
Could I have roasted them?
Probably but, my goal was to drive fast not burn up my brakes.

P.S. I was on street tires.

Will those lines make a significant difference in pedal feel? I like a nice, hard pedal that has little to no free play before the brakes engage.
