Only 24mm rotors. Not what I want. How are the consumable costs and pad choices? Actually those are oem size rotors... So for a track user outside of pedal feel (and reduced unsprung weight)what does this kit get you?

Just checked the prices for new rings... About 350 each! Ouch that's $200 more per rotor than the Essex sprint kit!

Since there is no increase in thermal mass, consumables would have to be uber cheap and there better be tons of pad choices for this to be considered by any track user IMO. That doesn't appear to be the case here.
