Use stock rotors. You don't need anything special. In fact I don't think that most of the drilled slotted rotors area any improvement, and some of them are worse than stock. I say this about ones that are made from stock castings. I think that racing brakes and rotors with slots, etc, are an upgrade, but they are designed with this sort of thing in mind.

The brake guru of sportscars (Fred Puhn) thinks that slotted rotors are equally as effective as pads with a groove or two in them, just the groved pad dosn't look as cool parked.

NOPI and others sell Brembo blanks for a very fair price. I have a friend with a SE-R that does about 30 events a year on $25 dollar brembo blanks.

My CSP car uses Brembo blanks with Carbon Metallic street pads. I have had them on the car since 1996. They did well on the track. The only fade I had is when I hit the brake zone too early and stayed on the brakes.

I will tell you that they will probably be OK. The trick is to put on some brake ducts, upgraded pads, etc. Unless your car is heavy and fast, this will probably be adequate. If it is not, just take it easy on the braking and enjoy the rest of the driving. You probably spend what 5-10 seconds per lap on the brakes and the rest doing other things. Brakes are important, but they are less important in putting in a fast lap than most track school people give them.

my main concern is safety anyways when going to the track. the last thing i want to see is a wall up close.
