I'm a little disappointed about not getting the 3 lbs per side weight advantage on track if I use the drilled rotors for street, but I guess it's not that big a deal.
Meanwhile it sounds like RacingBrakes might have two piece rotors for us next year. If they do, I'll be upgrading to those in front for sure when they're available.

all good stuff! the DTCs are great pads. you'll want to use them on every track. also worth mentioning: a track with a long straight is often less-brake-intensive because the duration and speed (meaning cooling airflow) of the straight allows your brakes time to cool. overheating issues are common on tracks with more frequent braking. believe it or not, the intensity of the braking done has less of an impact on heat buildup than simple duration on/off the brakes. keep your braking zones brief and you'll get the most out of your brakes.
