Default Good rotors for roadcoursing?

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for replacement rotors for the S2000 for road racing. My OEM ones seemed to have warped a bit, I guess they weren't meant for the kind of punishing they are receiving so looking for something a bit more race ready.

Was looing at these:

you might want to invest in a Brake brake kit, bigger rotor=higher thermo capacity=consistant braking, less fade and more brake torque.

slotted, drilled, nipple, etc don't really do much, just get a oem size blanks with a good vane design

there's alot of track guys live off the NAPA lifetime warranty for rotor and axle

I used Cobalt rotors/pads for my track set up....

You should be fine on OEM rotors unless you're running much higher HP. I know the two S2K honda challenge racers are using just oem rotors with different pads. They don't have any issues/complaints besides going through a set every 2 weekends or 3.

I thought I was going to be fine on OEM's too but after about 3 or 4 sessions I get serious shuttering at high speed braking.

I ordered those DBA 4000's and should be here soon, hopefully they will be able to stand up to the punishment!

Are you sure you're not on the brakes too long?

Yeah pretty sure. It is a really long straight that I have to do some heavy breaking, here is a map of the track.



You get up to about 200 km/h then brake for the fast left hander. It's the front straight.
