They aren’t really going to do anything special. If you’re after the look go for it. The drillings have a cheese grater effect on pads so they will not last as long. Doing a more fade resistant pad would help you at your event as well as allow the pads to last longer. Remember rotors on Porsches wear with the pads so shoot for keeping the pad life long. Pagid sport pad part # Front T5106, Rear T5105(or similar compound) would work best for your situation. If you are switching compounds in the rear you will probably have to do something for the fronts as well. High speed straights that lead to tight corners are what test your brakes the most. So if you have a lot of those, an aftermarket drilled rotor in stock size will probably eventually from small cracks. All those drill holes add up to a reduction in over all rotor mass, and the more material that is on that rotor, the better it will be at dissipating heat. SS lines will make a huge difference in peddle feel.
