Default Another rotor question thread

Hey Guys,

Sorry, there were a ton of these but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

After my last track day it's time for new rotors and I have a fresh set of OEM pads already. The car gets a few track days a year and I usually go through a set of pads each time. Other than that, I take it out the 3-4 sunny months we have here in Wa for casual driving.

Question is this, since I'm already going to be replacing them -is there any options with superior performance that aren't significantly more expensive than the OEM rotors? We just had our first child a few days ago so no go on expensive car mods (I saw a lot of people suggesting expensive ones in other threads) for a little while.

It's a 15' Z51 too fwiw.

Thanks in advance!
