I won't tell that you are wrong in any way with your observation, just that several factors changed (tires, driving style, maybe ambient temps, maybe other things, but i'd rather bet on tires), which doesn't automatically point to rotors as being culprit from that list of changed variables. Good luck, if different rotors will help your issue. If so, post your experience with those. I somewhat doubt that to change anything in relation to temps though, just brake feel (more bite).
BTW, for OE replacements i've seen sometimes mentioned also DBA rotors.
I for myself dropped brake temps after i got performance alignment (that changed grip bias more to neutral from understeer biased stock alignment). I simply didn't have to use brakes as much in most turns for mass-transfer/rear-rotation. Also started using pedal dance instead of VSC. Grippier tires brought to me more speed .. and also more heat in brakes. There are many things that may affect brake temps/wear, thus it's simpler if there is one change at a time, to locate problems/deficiencies.

I'm well aware of that different variables that may contribute to difference to wear or heat generated. My gut feeling tells me the factory stock units are superior based on what I've experienced. I suppose I could just get a set of OEM rotors if i think they're that much better than Centrics, but nah..
Maybe I'll be the first to try the Raybestos rotors and I'll let you guys know what I think. How bad could they possibly be, right? Raybestos is a pretty reputable brand. Unless Mr @
Tcoat can chime in.

100K miles??? how many miles do you have on your car?
To be honest, I did some DD and one single track day with these pads and I took them out. After I took them out and saw that they well already 50% done, I started to look for other compounds to try for track. Never put them back in. Pretty damn good for DD any canyons, but no bueno for track. I figured they'd at least do just as well if not better than the HP+ on track, but that was not the case.
