No, many classes require stock calipers. Most allow aftermarket 2-pc rotors tho.

aren't all brake mods a free point mod in virtually every series? I thought it was, which is why I ordered StopTechs... [confused now]

For people that have gone the distance of routing ducting, that ducting will be useless on these bad boys.

Take a look at a stock rotor and then take a look at the rotor you're selling and you just might see why I made that statement.

These cost about 4x as much as the rotors I currently use (Centric). Would they last at least 3x as long? If so, then they'll get some serious consideration.

I think I understand your question better. The front rotors are reverse mount. This is done because it is more efficient for the suction created by the vanes to draw from the front side of the rotor than the rear. This photo shows the rotor installed on the front upright.
However, ducting to the center of the hub area is still utilized by windows in the hub barrel that feed the vented rotor disc as shown by these photos.
In addition to the disc being more efficiently fed on the front side with the reverse mount design, I believe that this method is actually more efficient for ducting to the hub area as well compared to a factory style rotor with a rear mounted disc. The reverse mount design causes air to be encapsulated by the cup of the hub barrel feeding the entire rotor all the time (where there is suction present in all vanes). This will be more efficent than ducting only a portion of a factory rotor on the back side, where there is no suction anyway from the staight vanes.
Hope that clarifies the design.

I think that these rotors are well worth the extra $50.00. Not only in performance and cost savings of the brake parts themselves, but other related components, including the wheel bearings that you mention.

For SOS and a good thorough explanation. I will be looking to pick up a set of these for next season.
