Default Rotors for track use?

What brand of rotors do you guys use on the track?

I currently have Porterfield race pads and stock rotors.

Non racing application--DE only. 1990 C2.

Thanks,
Jim

Slotted Zimmerman fronts from Paul Weston(he slots them) and solid zimmerman rears.

Both have help up for two seasons. Pagid yellow(f), Pagid black (r) have been my pads. I really think they
are worth the extra dollars given how easy they seem on the rotors.

Guess it depends on the car and fit.. I like the Girodisks. Very high quality finish, light and I get berserk wear from them.

Alcon Slotted with Pagid Yellow's/Black for CR & Sebro Sport slotted for DE's and some CR's with same Pads. Will be doing more testing on the Sebro Sports later in the season as they are rather new to my garage.
