And I drive like a banshee high on meth.


So I guess I'll avoid drilled rotors. Just gonna go with slotted ones.

Josh, thanks for the link! Is the price for a full set of 4, or per wheel?

Throw it in neutral at stop lights and get off the brake or keep replacing rotors. And keep track driving on the track.

If you've got the brakes good and hot and you're on a level surface, throw the car into N while you're at a light if you can.

The only other suggestion I can offer is to back off the hard braking when driving on public roadways. Otherwise, you're probably going to be replacing rotors a lot more often than is necessary. In which case, you might as well buy the generic rotors from any local auto parts store.

FWIW, I find myself limit accelerating fairly often when I'm doing some spirited driving. Limit braking on the other hand? Never. That's just asking for an accident.
