I don't think the carbon kevlar brake pads rerquire any special rotor. They're usually pretty easy on the rotor unless the mixologist got happy with the metallic.

As for the CoF question ...
How are they working for your track days at Thunderhill?
Are you running full events? ... or just short runs for time?

Do you feel like you have use "all the brakes you got" ?
or, do you feel like you have to be easy on them to not over slow the corner?

Any fade problems after a lot of laps?
Can you lock them up? And of so, which end first?
