HappyMonkey: i'd strike out "significantly". It's not some race BBK kit for $10K . In few trackdays you'll burn more fuel & wear tires then what your purchase did cost. Yes, not much difference over stock .. but then again imho even stock brakes are relatively rather good on twins. You get spares, good enough. Stock rotors/pads may cost even more then some aftermarket offerings .
BTW, next thing i suggest to read a bit on alignment. At least that was what i felt that may benefit from changing after first track visits. But worth to go to track first to feel yourself if/what/how much improve. |

Thanks for all the comments. I learned a lot more than I expected to when I posted the questions. Before I go back to stock rotors here's a goodbye photo of the slotted/drilled ones.

Also, if anyone is curious I used the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set Blue G2162 on the calipers. It's not a perfect match but close enough that I'm happy with it.
Here's the unedited straight from the camera version of that photo showing the true colors a little better. |

fwiw since this thread is back on track the ATE fluid is a good choice for beginners imo, especially at half the cost of motul, I just switched to it myself (but not for track duty). It's the preferred fluid for casual Miata track guys last I checked (light cars = less brake heat) my roommate ran it in his NC with no issue, but we're solidly amateurs.
I've read people who run it will sometimes bleed the brakes between track sessions, which seems silly to me, but that's likely the worst case scenario for you HappyMonkey, but I bet the stoptech pads fade first unless you've changed your mind on those. |
