if you ask me, if you don't want the brakes for the looks, just stick with the stock solid rotors, upgrade to some better pads, and get high temp brake fluid. Offhand I can't recall exactly what pads I was running at the time, but I ran 15 laps of a 1.8km road course and the brakes were still pretty solid after those 25ish very hard kilometers. A bit spongier then when I started, but the pads were done for so that might have been what caused the softer pedal.
