It seems to me there's not much performance difference between most OEM fitment aftermarket rotors. For example, DBA 4000 Series (or whatever they are) cost nearly three times as much as basic blanks. I'm sure they're better, but I don't see much difference in braking performance between them. Any differences in real-world performance seem to be minuscule at best.
So, that said, can anyone tell me in a quantifiable way how these Hawk rotors are better than cheap blank discs from Centric or similar? I like Hawk and would gladly buy these if I could justify it.

Well for the DBA's, they handle braking heat and stress much better than OEM's especially in terms of motorsport where you can quickly warp the factory rotors under harsh heating conditions. The same would apply to these Hawk rotors.

As far as quantifiable data we don't have any personally as we run a BBK on our shop FRS. However those of you who may be currently using these rotors are more than welcomed to chime in.

Thanks,

Jeff
