Factory steel rotors?

Are there any aftermarket rotors that last longer?

I was there on July 27th with hooked on driving and I think I ran into you. However, my memory is failing me a bit too since it's hard to keep track of the 3 orange cars and their respective owners . I'll be back on friday with trackmasters .
