Default Changing from Carbon Ceramic rotors

I currently have a 2019 Grand Sport Z07 that I track. Last year I bought the new one when the rotors on my 2018 wore out after tracking it for 1 and a half seasons. Obviously I cant do THAT again (lol) but I do not want to spend the money on replacing the CCB rotors. What suggestions are there for steel rotors that will stand up to 5 or 6 track days a month and also street driving. I have 15,000 miles on the 2109 since I bought it in June of 19 with about 6000 or so of that on the track. Thanks

I have Girodisc rotors that fit your OEM calipers.

They bolt on and replace the CCM discs.

The pad in front get's a bit 'shorter' to offset some of the weight gain - which also increases the number of pad choices that there are.

This is a relatively common change for track guys.

You could also take everything off and switch to the iron caliper/rotor setup from a Z06 or do front/rear AP Racing BBK's
