I think the PF 2pc upgrade would be the best option for a NA car. 1/3 the price of a BBK.
Is it even out yet? I just remember Billy 'leaking' the info and then it died...

Well if you do order it, you should do some work on reviewing it. I think a lot of us are convinced that once you spend upwards of that much for brake equipment, you might as well jump up to the BBK.

I'm running the Endless BBK and I'm still using the same rotor on the track after 3 years of use. I'm also not running any kind of ducting. I give my buddies shit all the time as they sit there swapping out cracked rotors between sessions.

About how many track days do you run per year?

It is somewhat sporadic, but I think I have around 15+ track days on them. I'm on my second set of pads. Once I'm finished with those pads, I'll likely replace the rotors at that point.

Try the new SOS rotors and some ducts if you can't afford the BBK? Cheaper option, and it might end up working out well for you.

I think I am looking at Wilwood BBK 12.88" slotted (not drilled) 2-piece rotors and hats, with black 6-pot calipers, cheper than red and I don't care about color. It is priced below a lot of the other competitors, and Emilio says it fits under my 6ULR 17" x 9" +63 offset front wheels. I'm having Porterfield look into what racing brake pad options there are, since the kit comes with street pads I don't want.

I do 40 - 50 track days a year. That's a decade for you.

I run ducting on my car. No cracked rotors yet. Then again could just be my slow driving style.

Richard isn't the fastest driver around, but he will rip your average trackday driver a new one.

I still firmly believe that if you're not cracking rotors regularly, then you've still a lot of room for improvement; every mid-pack and faster driver in So-Cal seems to crack rotors.

The exceptions are the ones who pre-emptively change out rotors, and those with a BBK.
