[QUOTE="amorrow, post: 10668650, member: 35869"] Those are an option worth looking into, however I have no experience with those rotors nor have heard anything about them...so I wouldn't recommend them without knowing anything about them. But unsprung weight is the best weight to shed. I still have my original rotors (car only has 13K miles and Porterfield pads have been fairly easy on them), and most others I've raced with have just used stock replacements, keeping in mind none of us are driving serious racecars, and only compete for fun. And in my opinion PBR calipers are sufficient for track use with good pads, braided lines, and adequate fluid (I use Motul 600). My car performs well running ~8 lap sessions at speed on ~2mi road courses, and I honestly don't see a need to go with different calipers, as I don't notice significant brake fade, and my car stops well relative to the others on the track. I'm obviously not implying you won't see [I]any[/I] measureable improvement going to higher-end brake setups, but you just have to ask yourself how much you want to spend on a track toy that's not a dedicated purpose-built racecar.
