for tracking ur using the Brembo pads, damn I didnt realize they are that good.
"place for brakes" or something like that is here in MIAMI, might want to give them a call. Thats where I get my track brakes for my Z.

Hit up Giro Disc on this forum.
If you are concerned about braking ability, I don't see the point in slotted rotors. Are you having an issue now? I just beat on my stock set up for a couple of days with no issues, and I am skeptic of OEM set up that supposedly can handle the track - these did, pleasant surprise.

lol im jsut worried that if i REALLY step on the brakes that the rotor will heat up so much that it wont slow down anymore, you know what i mean??
I don't believe slots will help you with a rotor heat issue. If anything, you are removing thermal capacity by decreasing its mass. Increased heat may warp your rotors, but give your OEM a chance. Not stopping from heat (fade) would tell me you need more pad.
Get better pads and some better fluid, this is all you really need. Slotted rotors will hurt your braking performance as you are taking away surface area (less area for the pad to grab) and decreasing mass of the rotor (more heat in less mass is bad).

Stock brakes perform very very well. You may want to research pads after your OEM ones have worn out. Unless you plan to track hard every weekend, I wouldn't recommend upgrading your brakes. OEM brakes work well even for the occasional trackday.
