I saw that Mike already replied but I have to ask.. 40 track days and 2 years of usage on a brake rotor and you are actually looking for a solution to get LONGER lifespan?

I wish any rotor I had on any of my track cars lasted that long ha

The Camaro ones are good for 10-15 days, BRZ AP ones I can't recall from my first set so I guess I'll find out again soon. The race car gets a couple days on a set in DEs, or about 10-14 hours of endurance usage. The ITR track car gets maybe 2 days out of a rotor. Given replacement cost I'd gladly swap the ITR rotors for the life of the essex BRZ ones if I could.
