    After this past weekends track day, i have some seriously heat treated brake rotors. The fronts not so bad, but the rear rotor got hot for sure. Its pretty dark, and has lots of heat spots on it. Should i just leave it, and run with it ? Replace it with a "cooler" wavy rotor ? and/or get some new Hi-po aftermarket pads?

    dude, those wave rotors sure look pretty sweet. did you take it off and see if it's warped at all? it's probably okay, but I'd go ahead and check...

    p.s. what were you doin using brakes at the track? hehe

    I vote wave rotors just cuz' they look cool. You're probably ok to run it if its not warped though with new pads of course; I have to assume those are toast.
