Need rotors
Does any one have 04-05 rotors that they'd part with? I have the Cobalt pads on now and I don't want to disturb the nice transfer layer I have now when I go back to stock pads.

For those that track a few times a year, do you just swap pads back and forth on the same rotors, or do you have a separate set for race pads?

I dumped all the old rotors (at least those that were in obvious places).
robinson, I've always run the same rotors but just change pads, and no problems. I don't think the different pad materials on the rotor make much difference to the street pads, and if anything the street pads seem to bite stronger after switching back after a track event (I switch at the track). I would guess the race pads quickly remove and replace the softer street pad material on the rotors (if any is there) after a few hard brakings on the track. My guess also is that the race pad material stays on the rotor for a while as the street pads probably don't remove it easily, especially as the brakes rarely get very hot on the street (conjecture). However, if you do drive the car home with the race pads (which are then cold), the cold race pads will not only remove the race pad material but turn your rotors also.
