Rotors - replace these?

Do not let your rotors get to that condition. The FIRST crack that hits the edge inner or outer dump the rotors.

This can happen. Can rip apart your pads, maybe catch and bend an upright or caliper, cause a lockup and spin... not good things.

BR Racing in Los Gatos built the car for the previous owner. Bruce there told me to replace the rotors when the cracks reached the edges. Now they have done that, and community agrees, I will do that. I count 13 track days on them. I'd like them to last longer.
Re mainenance, for large jobs I like to go to BR, but not convenient as I live in Mill Valley. Modest jobs I go to Hi-Tec or S Car Go in San Rafael. Also use Griffin in Berkeley for tire mount/balance and alignment check.

Were those rotors slotted? If so, you need to replace before the slots are gone if the cracks don't reach the edge.
For longer life get AP Racing or Brembo Type 5 for the car.
Use a pad easier on the rotor. RT RE10, Endless MA45B, etc.
