Brake discs Detroit Axle or GiroDisc
Reviews
I have also tested out detroit axles drill and slotted rotors. they are absolutely way thinner than I expected but still get the job done. I test them on daily driving and they hold up great in my experience. 4 months and going.
Pros: hold up great, daily driving
Cons: thinner than expected
For brakes and rotors I swear by Detroit Axle. They are excellent.
Pros: excellent quality
I run these on my Touring. 2 years in and holding up excellently. Proper break in is key I feel.
Pros: excellent durability, long lasting
Reliability and safety are my main concerns right now, so I also have Girodisc rotors
Pros: reliability and safety

Almost every car in our PCA club runs GiroDiscs, even the GT and RS cars. Never heard a single complaint, and love them on my C2 and GT3.
Pros: no complaints, love them

We are on our fifth weekend with our girodisc two piece rotors. Yes they are expensive, but they are worth it. They are so much better with heat management.
Pros: better heat management
Cons: expensive
Follow up after my track day: The Girodiscs + Pagids were amazing. Tons of bite, and zero fade, plus plenty of pedal feel after two days of running hard at VIR.
Pros: tons of bite, zero fade
I have had great success with Girodisc rotors this summer. I have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads for a few years and love them, but rotor temperatures would hit 800+ degrees after track sessions and conventional rotors, like Stop Tech, developed surface cracking and maybe a bit of warp. Girodisc rotor temps have been around 550 degrees after sessions this summer.
Pros: lower rotor temperatures, great success
Cons: surface cracking, bit of warp
Verdict - Preformed great, very pleased!!!!
Pros: preformed great, very pleased

Update for all those following along. My brakes were the best they've ever been today - on a very, very hot day (feels-like temp over 100). I had a vibration with light brake pressure, but pressed on giving more pressure and found that as the brakes got more heat in them, and I went deeper into the braking zone, the vibration disappeared. All was well, but after checking the rotors, they appear to have developed cracks.
Pros: best brakes ever
Cons: developed cracks, vibration
