I may follow in the OP's direction. I've been to 12 track events where the brakes get used hard and I warped them every time I went to Laguna Seca or six warped rotor days. I resurface then replace with OEM next time. I'm charged $200 or less with installation. I am using Carbotech pads.
It is just part of the cost of having fun.

2. The rotors are drilled. For track days, they will just disintegrate. 3. DBA > EBC That's about all i've got

Lets be real people, it's a rotor. It's t6061 hat made from a block of aluminium. Turn CNC machine on, hit go with correct program, done! Now I'm no metallurgist so i cant comment on everyons rotor metal but I know z1 doesn't make these! They had an idea, vane design, slot pattern and that's it. They maybe have sold less than 100 but the rotor manufacture has made millions!
