What is everyone's rotor upgrade of choice? looking for a little more brake to help late brake and set up the corners.

Well I have Girodisc front rotors (4.8 pounds lighter per side rotating mass) and DTC70 Hawk Pads on front and DTC60 pads on rear (see first pic below). Braking is VERY VERY good. When NOT on track I use stock pads. I also installed BLACK WING brake air ducts (see second pic below) and that helps.
I upgraded the ZL1 calipers with vented brake pistons, silicone HI TEMP brake piston boots and stainless steel brake lines using WILWOO EXP 600 DOT4 brake fluid. I even CERAKOTE the calipers to handle the intense heat I was seeing on track days (about 450 degrees at the caliper). The YOUTUBE video BELOW in my signature is that EXACT set up at the track. THAT time is ALMOST a full second FASTER than the FAST time listed in the ROAD COURSE section for Eagles Canyon Raceway - 2.7 CCW Config - Decatur, TX. That is ALOT of difference and that is specifically what allows me to top 135MPH on the back straight PRIOR to braking for the 90 degree corner (you can see it on the video). Basically its what allows me to brake LATER than everybody else.
