Upgrading your brakes? I'm still on the damn single piston 1g brakes. I would be in heaven if I had some stock evo brakes.
The more power you make the better you need to be able to reign it in.

I think he was hinting at taking the stock brakes off his hands for him :D

Is the two peice rotors mainly for heat reduction? I wouldnt think it would be for strength because a one peice would be much stronger.

They say it is for heat, weight, and to prevent warping due to how the ring 'floats' against the aluminum hub. The RB website is a lot more educational than Girodisc.

Not planning to upgrade the calipers--this is just rotors, pads, and stainless lines. The "big brake" kits start at $3k. That'd make sense if you were actually a racer but this is just for playing at the tracks.

Not really even then. The stock calipers are fine for the vast majority of track cars.

I'd imagine so since you could step up to race-only pads.

I was just saying that thinking about upgrading the brakes on a car that has an amazing brake setup already is crazy compared to mine and other dsmers.

I'm planning to learn how to use them this year. On my first track day I just slowed down enough before the corners, rather than using the brakes much.

+1, a good set of pads, SS lines, and fresh fluid on these cars makes an amazing difference.

Since you're tracking your car, have you considered some sort of brake ducting kit? This usually lets you get the most longevity out of whatever setup you have, stock or aftermarket.
