ATE Calipers and Rotors 288 X 25; ATE again but 312 X 25 or Lucas Calipers and Rotors 321 X 25. I need to upgrade more than just the pads for track events since the rotors keep warping. I'm trying to replace the rotors without going to a complete kit and need to find high performance aftermarket ones if they exist. The Pagid Orange pads are great.

Default One option might be to cryogenically treat some rotors...

The company will obtain rotors for you and sell you the result. See the FAQ link below for more. There is some question whether they might warp anyway, but at least some claim good results. Never heard of a negative result, but our sample is small. ;^)<ul><li><a href="http://www.netwiz.net/~jds/files/a6_links.html#brakes">http://www.netwiz.net/~jds/files/a6_links.html#brakes</a</li></ul>

I really appreciate the help. So are these also known as HP-2's? Anyone out there change rotors?

Default BIRA has done a report on the HP-2 brakes...may be some usefull info there as they cite the rotors

as the "weak-link" and offer some alternatives.
