the car has never been to the track and they are the stock rotors. I've been looking online for replacements but really don't know what the best deal would be.

And if you do, is it in Comp mode or is TC/AH all the way on? I was eating up rears and cracking them due to the EBCM applying brakes in to control car in Comp mode. I now run all the way off.

How many miles on the rotors? Thin hair line cracks are not a problem. You can go for a long time with those types of cracks.
